Since I wasn't planning to use USB, I set it to "No". Bad Juju. Once I changed that, the FreeBSD install no longer hung. (I set all the rest of the settings back to where they were in the first place just to make sure) Guess either there is something funky about the way the BIOS on this board disables the USB IRQ, or the FreeBSD prober/installer has a bit of an oversensitivity to it. Thanks all for your suggestions. Phil -- Philip J.
