I commented out the 'options NO_MIXED_MODE' line from my kernel config (a copy of GENERIC), made a new kernel and installed it. I commented out the hint from /boot/loader.conf, and rebooted the machine. The results were ... special. The machine would do anything from reboot to just mess up the display (vertical stripes instead of text) during booting. When I set the hint again, the machine booted like before (ie. with the 15 seconds delay). Whew. --=20 Regards, Torfinn Ingolfsen, Norway
