Unfortunately I'm still having problems booting FreeBSD 5.3. Watching the boot-up messages it boots up passed the isp0 driver and then prints a line saying: pci0: at device 11.0 (no driver attached) After that line the PWS halts itself and gives halt code =5 with PC=1f00 (if that helps any) No other information, just that. The same thing happens when I use `boot -v` except it's more verbose with the starting of the isp0 and everything before that, but there really were no errors that I could see. Unless it was something being giant-locked though I've seen those with freebsd 5.2.1 and it still booted fine... show conf at the srm console shows that the Matrox Millenium II is being detected by the Alpha and I've tried switching between the two 64-bit PCI slots to no avail. I'm at a loss for what to do next and I'm hoping someone can help me, I'd rather not stay at 5.2.1 because it's been superceded by 5.3.
