Building the boot loader arguments Looking up /BOOT/LOADER... Found Relocating the loader and the BTX ... Then the screen goes blank. I've tried setting AHCI and unsetting it (IDE mode), still no go. Tried the 7-STABLE / 8-CURRENT (amd64) snapshots from February. This is on an LG GH22LS40 on a Gigabyte MA78GM-S2H mobo w/ the latest BIOS from their website. Clues? I'll prolly plug an old CD-ROM just to install FreeBSD on it. Thanks. -- cheers mars ----- P. J. O'Rourke - "If government were a product, selling it would be illegal."
