I'll try installing already tested cd with 3.3-RELEASE on the same machine and see what happens, maybe this is just because of the i820 chipset, if so then 3.3 should not work either, otherwise it could be the problem with this particular ISO image that I have... >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
