I'll retry this with the next ISO release. I got the time to retry with the 11.0-RELEASE ISO, and the above problem is fixed, but unfortunately then hit a problem I'd previously seen and posted on the list when testing 11.0-STABLE in mid-September. The kernel loads and boots correctly, but it hangs at this point: gem0: 10kB RX addr...... gem0: Ethernet address ....... cryptosoft0: on nexus0 At this point it just sits there with the CPU fan going full tilt. I'm not sure what exactly the problem is here because I have no means to debug it that I'm aware of at that point during the boot. Happy to investigate further if anyone could provide any hints about what I could do to assist. Regards, Roger
