Other times I get the mountroot prompt and upon pressing enter, the = system reboots. This seems random with the same hardware setup. I literally have to = stare at the screen for it to finally push through to the install = procedure. I'm clearly new to freeBSD and was wondering what is going on here? I'm happily installing now as I managed to find time and stare at the = screen long enough but would like some insight n this if possible. - aurf=
