I have been experiencing problems with loader(8) on my system. Essentially it freezes the system if "too much" keyboard input is given. Please see these posts for more background: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-stable/2008-October/046176.html http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-stable/2008-October/046189.html http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-stable/2008-November/046337.html I've just tested booting up with an i386 RC1 disc and the problem is still there. My motherboard is an Intel DG33BU. Regards, Aragon
