I'm afraid that I can only see the last page of the startup sequence and I'm unable to save the message summary to disk. It's a standard dumb terminal. I will however attempt to type the summary as I see it on the screen... ata0-master: pio=PIO4 wdma=WDMA2 udma=UDMA100 cable=80 wire ad0: setting UDMA100 ad0: 38166MB at ata0-master UDMA100 ad0: 78165360 sectors [19158C/16H/255S] 16 sectors/interrupt 1 depth queue GEOM: new disk ad0 ad0: nVidia check1 failed ad0: Adaptec check1 failed ad0: LSI (v3) check1 failed ad0: LSI (v2) check1 failed ad0: FreeBSD check1 failed ata1: Identifying devices: 00020000 ata1: New devices: 00020000 GEOM: ad0: partition 1 does not start on a track boundary ata1-slave: pio=PIO4 wdma=WDMA2 udma=UDMA33 cable=40 wire GEOM: ad0: partition 1 does not end on a track boundary acd0: setting UDMA33 acd0: CDRW drive at ata1 as slave acd0: read 10820KB/s (10820KB/s) write 172KB/s (8268KB/s), 2048KB buffer, UDMA33 acd0: Reads: CDR, CDRW, CDDA stream, DVDROM, DVDR, packet acd0: Writes: CDR, CDRW, test write, burnproof acd0: Audio: play, 255 volume levels acd0: Mechanism: ejectable tray, unlocked acd0: Medium: CD-ROM 120m data disc GEOM: ad0s1: geometry does not match label (16h,63s != 16h,255s) That's it I'm afraid... hope it helps!! This was with FreeBSD 9.0 May 2010 on an AMD2800 nVidia GeForce 4 with 512Mb of memory system FN41S00Y nVidia Crush18G + MCP2 motherboard with just the CD/DVD drive and 1 hard drive, no floppy. The hard drive is a Seagate ST340016A 3.19 drive. 40Gb!! It does work under FreeBSD 7.2!! Cheers, Bruce Stephens, Melbourne Australia.
