Thinking that maybe the user would finally appreciate the beauty of FreeBSD, I tried installing 4.4-RELEASE, but it hangs as soon as it gets to: usb0: SMM does not respond, resetting The same problem happens to FreeBSD 4.3 and FreeBSD 4.1.1. I also tried NetBSD but that also hangs. So currently, I am stuck with a laptop that only has windows and a large stack of newly burned CDs (which I have tested, and work on other machines). I have also looked into the BIOS, and saw no way of disabling USB. If any of you have ideas, I welcome them. If more information is needed let me know. I hope that you all have a nice weekend.
