Hello, 
Here is a some questions/answers for EAG or FAQ/Troubleshooting.

Q. I have a problem with boot from your CD with FreeBSD 5.0. Help!

A. When FreeBSD boot, press the space key, it says
OK

then type
 unset acpi_load
then
boot
for continue boot process.

Q. How to disable ACPI?

A. Add following line
hint.acpi.0.disable="1"
into your /boot/device.hints file.

Q. Whereis MAKEDEV?

MAKEDEV is dead, baby, MAKEDEV is dead. 5.0 and future releases
use devs(8).

Q. I think NEWCARD implementation for pccard do not work for me, and I
 have a message: cbb0: unsupported card type detected. What can i do?

A. Try to use OLDCARD implementation. In addition, if you see 
following message: No /dev/pccard[0|1] devices, exit.
Add following line into your /etc/rc.conf
devd_enable="YES"

Q. Looks like my cards (network or sound) have conflicts with pccards
(or other devices). What can I do? As far I see, I haven't any
problmes with FreeBSD-4.X.

A. Try to add following line
hw.pci.allow_unsupported_io_range="1"
into your /boot/loader.conf.local
and reboot your machine.


Sorry for my poor english.
Comments are welcome.
Thanks.
