So I was able to binary update from 6.4 to 7.0-RELEASE, but when I trie= d freebsd-update -r 8.0-RC3 upgrade After installing after that I get the same hanging I saw with the booto= nly ISO. The mpt0 device is loaded, pcib8, but after it hits atrtc0, it hangs. I'm trying what someone suggested previously -- install 8.0-RC3 using t= he 6.4 install disk via the net. I'm trying that now, but I'm not hopeful= . I think I need to give up and move on that FreeBSD isn't going to work.
