Hetzel > Looking Forward to 2.2-RELEASE. I found out what the problem was with FreeBSD 2.2-960501-SNAP, for some reason it didn't like the BIOS for my GateWay 2000 P5-133XL (AMIBIOS v1.00.05 BR0T). After locating, downloading and installing AMIBIOS v1.00.10 BR0T, I was able to install the Snap for FreeBSD. What has changed in the BIOS detection of FreeBSD 2.2, as 2.1 detects the WD 2.5 GB with no problems? Scot W. Hetzel
