Dear all of you, My computer (HP Compaq DC7100) refuses to boot to FreeBSD. It enters the= MBR, I then select FreeBSD in the bootloader and the computer reboots! What kind of behavior is thi= s, and why won't it give FreeBSD a chance? I'm aware that some UNIX systems need a patch to work on this type of co= mputer: [1]http://www5.= itrc.hp.com/service/patch/wrap.do?pageKey=3Dpatch.jsp.archiveJump&admi t= =3D552267591+1103976356811+28353475 But in my case, what do I need to do? Disabling ACPI in the BIOS doesn't= work. I'm informed (when I reinsert my S-ATA HD) that if I'm running UNIX, I s= hould enable it in the BIOS. But guess what? There are no such options. Believe me I've looked. Does anybody know what's going on? Thanks.
