Hi, I have installed FreeBSD 5.1 /dev/hda3 on my computer. I also have linux installed on /dev/hda1 partition While installing FreeBsd, I chose 'leave MBR untouched' option, and configu= red Lilo boot loader to boot into /dev/hda3 for FreeBSD. When I select FreeBSD, it shows me the FreeBSD boot prompt which gives me = options like 1. Boot FreeBSD [default] 2. Boot with ACPI disabled ... and so on I am facing a problem, sometimes when I press 2 for booting with ACPI dis= abled, the system just hangs. The console freezes and even pressing 'Ctrl= +Alt+Del' doesnt do anything. I simply have to hardboot. This happens inconsistently .. say about 3 times out of 5. How can I prevent this???? Also, How can I change my default boot option in my FreeBSD boot loader to = boot into option "2-Boot with ACPI disabled"? Any kind of information would help. Thanks, Nikhil.
