Lazlo, this is the mobile forum you can search for more info: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-mobile/ I have a Toshiba Satellite2805-S302. It runs FreeBSD since version 3.x, If I am not mistaking versions. I am running 5.3 Stable now, just moved from 4.10. To your question... it can be a checksum error in your recorded CD, probably in the ISO image (did you check it before burning?). Try the boot version (aprox. 20 Mbytes) or the floppies. FreeBSD is solid rock of performance compared to Linux, but I recognise (*at this moment*) for some users Linux is a better *Desktop* solution. If you go for Linux , you may try Fedora Core 3 (latest).

Every time I boot up from the cd it stops loading at pci0<ACPI PCI bus> on pcib0 I tryed everything in my bios.I even disable the wirwles card and the mouse, unpluged evry extra and still stops. I tryed boot with ACPI, ACPI disable, Safe Mode. Same problem. The same cd does boot correctly on my desktop. Does anyone could give me Idea what am I doing wrong? Or if this laptop is not supported. I appreciate every help Thank you Laszlo --lantal
