Have you tried Ctl-Alt-F2 to get to a new tty? That should at least give you a usable system till the next time you actually need to reboot.

You should at least see something like xinit, XF86_S3, etc. Good luck, Doug -- *** Chief Operations Officer, DALnet IRC network *** *** Proud operator, designer and maintainer of the world's largest *** Internet Relay Chat server. 5,328 clients and still growing. *** Try spider.dal.net on ports 6662-4 (Powered by FreeBSD) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
