I had this problem with all versions of FreeBSD from 2.2.6 on a machine (which has now died) at the stage where it probes for PCI. It would stay at this screen forever. I guessed the problem may have been due to the fact that this particular machine was non-pci (it was one of the first 486 sx-25's (8 MB RAM). I'd still like to know what really caused it :) -- John To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
