Yes, that worked better - the patch applied cleanly, amd I could rebuild the loader. Here is how I did the rebuilding (all this done on another machine, which have no troubles booting from usb): I booted the machine from usb (da0), replaced btx.S with revision 1.45 and did: cd /usr/src patch -p6 < .../btx_real.patch cd sys/boot/i386 make Then I copied the files to the hard drive: boot0cfg -B -b /usr/obj/usr/src/sys/boot/i386/boot0/boot0 da0 cp -v /usr/obj/usr/src/sys/boot/i386/loader/loader /boot Is this the correct way to do build and update the files? I as because when I moved the usb hard drive to the problematic laptop and booted from it, I have exactly the same symptoms as before: after selecting F! (or F2, doesn't matter) from the boot menu text scrolls forever on screen. It looks like rergister dumps to me (hard to tell, it scroll too fast). It continues like that until Itrurn off the laptop. I would really like to figure his one out. -- Regards, Torfinn Ingolfsen
