How can i do this? i tried unset but cant get it to work. tried unset pcic0 unset hints.pcic unset pcic1 (although it was disabled na) also i tried unload boot kernel.old that didnt work. i got to this point after TONS of reboots and searching thru man pages on the devices show() says. hope you can help! =) rommel > > 5.0 is by now very old; you should try a modern release. 5.2.1 is due > out soon, so you might like to wait for that. > > Kris
