That jumper should reset the BIOS to factory defaults to allow it to get through the post and into setup. Some motherboards actually take you into setup with the jumper moved to reset bad configurations. Also, unplug any cards and drives, leave the system board with just ram and cpu and video (unless it is built in) until you get it configured. -Derek At 12:11 AM 6/14/2006, Garrett Cooper wrote: >Hello again all, > I know this isn't a FreeBSD question really, but I just started > up a motherboard with onboard SCSI (Adaptec AIC-7896), and for some odd > reason it freezes pre-POST before it attempts to boot and there isn't any > way where I can get into the BIOS to change the settings it seems.
