I've downloaded the latest iso just a few days ago. The only weird thing that is reported is @ boot, just before the kernel loads; Bios drive C: is disk2 Bios drive C: is disk3 Whatever kind of kernel configuration I try to boot, it hangs after detecting devices. In standard kern-conf, this is straight after "plip". Since I'd really like to run freebsd on this machine, i'm very willing to provide you with more debug information. I have already tried different IDE harddisks, and putting the harddisk on a different IDE connector. Please please, some help would be very much appreciated.
