It may be due to this: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=amd64/89550 I tried to install a SCSI card that uses the sym driver on my amd64 machine last week and it had a panic with the same message. It works fine in an i386 machine but I am unable to use it on my amd64 box. Someone sent me the card for free and I already have an Adaptec on order to use with the amd64, but from what I understand that driver doesn't work with amd64 yet. If possible, try removing the SCSI card and then trying to boot. It should work then. -Mark -- GnuPG Public Key: http://www.mkproductions.org/mk_pubkey.asc Internet Radio: Party107 (Trance/Electronic) - http://www.party107.com Rock 101.9 The Edge (Rock) - http://www.rock1019.net IRC: MIXXnet IRC Network - irc.mixxnet.net (Nick: MIXX941)
