Hello, Can someone suggest a way to debug FreeBSD's boot loader? My FBSD 6.2 freezes at random after printing Default: F1 I haven't noticed this issue in the past with older versions of FreeBSD. Since this is a random issue, it's very hard to pin point the culprit by process of elimination (disabling APCI, etc...) After several ctrl+alt+delete reboots, the system does boot. Once booted I can run makeworld for a week without any issues. Perhaps a disk issue? I'm booting off a MegaRAID controller. Though I cannot crash the system using intensive IO after it boots. After it boots, it seems to be rock solid, so I'm lost here. Can boot loader be put into verbose mode and have it output debugging info? Thank you! Simon
