Hi All, I am installing 5.2.1 on a Compaq Presario R3000. I made the CDs with Roxio Classic Creator on the Windows side. The machine gets to the boot select screen okay, but no matter what boot option I go with the machine powers down. I've tried option 2 (FreeBSD without ACPI) several times. So, what do I do now? This machine is hardly my first choice, but it's a gift and I'm stuck with it. It's got nice hardware, but there just seems to be no way around the Compaq curse... - Jason
