This really isn't a CD/DVD boot problem. Booting from USB is no different. I will add regarding my previous post about trying to load the driver using the "Windows method" seems kind of pointless. After reading up on it further, it seems that all it's doing is loading the driver into Windows during the install process. It's not actually effecting the hardware any...but I could be wrong. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/FreeBSD-7-load-hangs-on-boot-tp21039625p21065105.html Sent from the freebsd-questions mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
