I would sometimes get very odd page faults while running (this has been the case ever since FreeBSD 8.X, this setup would work pretty well on FreeBSD 7.X). Also, the boot loader issue reminds me of something I've seen in the past around 2009. Both : - USB key boot - USB CD ROM boot would not work. I would just experience a complete freeze (John Baldwin acknowledged there was a bug in how the real mode interrupt handlers, and register cleaning were called by the boot loader code) In the end, I had to resort to booting from a CF card on an IDE port... The odder thing is I never witnessed that behavior on any other motherboa= rd.
