I followed the instructions in man splash, but no dice. Same old probing screen. Does this even work? I tried doing it a year or so ago and couldn't get it working then. I recently re-installed FreeBSD (new, bigger HDD!) and was going to try it again, but I don't want to spend time on it if (for example) it simply doesn't work. Anyone have this working? If so, any pointers? Any suggestions on how to gather more information on what I may be doing wrong? I tried 3 different images, both with and without vesa. Same lack of result each time. Thanks, Bill _________________________________________________________________ The new MSN 8: smart spam protection and 3 months FREE*. http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail&xAPID=42&PS=47575&PI=7324&DI=7474&SU= http://www.hotmail.msn.com/cgi-bin/getmsg&HL=1216hotmailtaglines_smartspamprotection_3mf To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
