I am having a problem with FreeBSD 3.3 where 1 out of every 10 boots it hangs right after: Verifying DMI Pool Data ........ F1 FreeBSD Default: F1 _ BTX loader 1.00 BTX version is 1.01 Console: internal video/keyboard BIOS drive A: is disk0 BIOS drive B: is disk1 FreeBSD/i386 bootstrap loader, Revision 0.7 640/64512kB (jkh@highwing.cdrom.com, Thu Sep 16 22:16:41 GMT 1999) Loading /boot/defaults/loader.conf /kernel text=0x1e83ca data=0x1e7b4+0x20e90 syms=[0x4+0x27220+0x4+0x273fd] Hit [Enter] to boot immediately, or any other key for command prompt. Booting [kernel]... My hardware is: Motherboard: Biostar M5ALA ver 2.0 CPU: AMD K62 400 MHz RAM: 64MB PC100 Hard Drive: Seagate ST31082A Ethernet Card: 3com Etherlink XL (3c900) Video Card: Cirrus Logic PCIC This problem occurs repeatedly on a fresh install of FreeBSD using nothing but defaults for a Kern-Developer install/des,krb/Linux. There are no entries into /var/log/messages pertaining to this problem. I've swapped around similar parts thinking it is a hardware thing. The problem is not nearly as bad on a M5ALA ver 1.1 Motherboard. After much time troubleshooting and trying to narrow down the problem, I was hoping someone had some suggestions as to what else I should look for, or is this just a bad choice of hardware?
