I have found that FreeBSD=E2=80=99s default device.hints file has fallen behind on reality and is indeed causing problems on more modern H/W, like the H/W you mention. >=20 > I'm sure it is there for a reason so what is the alternative actions? = Is > the solution to get a bootable Atom SoC image to create yet another > distribution or can the installer choose the proper device.hints > dynamically during boot? FreeBSD should really get rid of any default hints by now; or at least limit the hints to what is absolutely certain to be needed or to be correct. -- Marcel Moolenaar marcel@xcllnt.net --Apple-Mail=_EB6901CD-836B-4C93-B2BA-E5898924FD92 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: Message signed with OpenPGP using GPGMail -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Comment: GPGTools - https://gpgtools.org iQIcBAEBCgAGBQJW0QCkAAoJEIda8t8f0tjjeR0P/3QlP/N+8buDP4Uh/fGpsBXR 50UY+0OB+zhtIWorK1AYPRVKBGF+H4myv+wnSslvRkfXA2E/YyJp9bQIxtoUoFh+ Kv4DAs97dWSQiaEgs4TylIEmWQrkf2pcb7+qmlBE2b0oIWZY34+s9v/hA8U/KCpW mAkMY5j2NrFSv7oQ53Hba8MmI5Q9aP/U7wdoKMsZ9r9Y7qM+aaXkFqFK0Y0XI1Nl XjeI/r7eWaweDRx6RhxYUkuIizujkd8etpaw9NekhQErWuC00eBllFtvNSxKev2Z /xL9ldhr98BBMXHW8hWccDsZQzdWsL6aSYqS7nRg/PUDpXqBqFHWx/Wc7tyRKg7H 9ORodLQHM1nijRRa5UjY3neMCgcZX6ask7PRlp5UhWxC5MGWlZhH3kkZrmlfo0vT 9t4J2i7Uy+lCnkKeWWQS9EiVtE/aa1607Naw6djKSpn+V+GfaSXIFYcX43lv0XGd 6reXhhWrmkldXjzHGJM8Sc/9Loc8MckC3OaJh0354iDP2uXlg2vArKtx5+j6gVBb p0/raJF+V5iZLvISJKOtl2Bedo1jZt89n6eltjQ+S2MZZu84HT2kI9bcnxr8pKn9 iZ7HpXDw6N7NRp+kMNgUIGXmGl1wES/SuxdJg7iuakSe3UIW93Q2dzFvvKFBIhh9 2aRmx/S+ij4qOtJKtE78 =2Q6s -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Apple-Mail=_EB6901CD-836B-4C93-B2BA-E5898924FD92--
