FreeBSD is listing the hardware it will check your system for. If you had all this hardware, there would be conflicts. Chances are that you don't have all that hardware, though, and there will not be any conflicts. Do this, in the visual config, go throught he list and delete all hardware that isn't present in your computer (if you're in doubt about something, leave it in) Once you're done, you should see 0 conflicts, at that point FreeBSD will boot without any trouble. If you attempted to boot without doing this, it might start fine, but the conflicts might also prevent it from booting successfully. -Bill To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
