i am currently having 2 problems.  the first i am certain can be solved 
inside freebsd, the second may be hardware.

1) whenever i install booteasy on a seagate barracuda it gives me the 
normal F1.......BSD stuff, but pressing F1 just gives me the prompt 
again.  if i use the boot floppy to boot sd(0,a)kernel then the system 
boots from sd0 as expected.  any ideas?  booteasy works fine on this 
machine using a fujitsu drive.

2) psm0 is correctly probed at boot but cat /dev/psm0 gives the error 
Resource Temporarily Unavailable.  obviously nothing that wants to use 
the mouse can find it.


thanks,
ben
