THANK YOU! That did it. I had cvsup'd, rebuilt the kernel, and the machine would lock up with nvidia_load in the loader.conf -- since it was compiled under an older 7.0 current... So, I rebooted edited out the nvdia_load from the loader.conf, booted, then rebuild the nvidia driver from the ports, and could not load it. Your instructions fixed it. Rudyhome | help
