That was the answer. It's odd, but someone else wrote that you need to make sure the ACPI module is not loaded if you "experience freezes on power on". I wonder if they meant "apic", although there is something called ACPI, and I was disabling it in /boot/loader.conf: "hint.acpi.0.disabled=1". I also discovered that the system that I thought was working, really wasn't. It did the same thing, but not until after Windows had started. The other system would get messed up as soon as I hit "Power On". Thanks again for your help. I don't know why I didn't run across this information during my searches. Thanks, Denver
