Yup I've seen this too on my trusty Micron. I've found that hitting space, to get to the forth prompt, and then typing boot and then thwacking enter is a sure fire way to get it to boot correctly. Hitting enter twice in a row quickly occasionally screw up. Also sometimes I'll be able to catch the screwed up booter when I notice that it doesn't respond to me hitting enter (In 9 seconds... hit enter.. 8 seconds.. hit enter.. 7 seconds... hit reset). - alex To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
