Mine is on 0x8b. Following some sugestions I hacked my boot/loader to look specifically at 0x8b.... it didn't work. I even went so far as to force 0x8b even though the autodetect did not work... it still didn't work. I then looked at the 1st stage boot loader as that *was* able to load boot/loader. I noticed a huge difference between the 2, with a comment in the 1st stage boot loader about a workarround for int 13h handling since not all bios's did it correctly. I then looked at boot/loader and noticed it *only* did int 13h handling. -- David Cross | email: crossd@cs.rpi.edu Acting Lab Director | NYSLP: FREEBSD Systems Administrator/Research Programmer | Web: http://www.cs.rpi.edu/~crossd Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, | Ph: 518.276.2860 Department of Computer Science | Fax: 518.276.4033 I speak only for myself. | WinNT:Linux::Linux:FreeBSD To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
