Another clue: The National Semiconductors are tricky to configure and your parallel port chipset is one of them (moreover a recent one). Compare the boot detection (PS2/NIBBLE) with your BIOS settings. Try to change your BIOS settings and dump me your dmesg (with verbose output). You may also try to force the operating mode with ppc boot flags. See ppc(4) for more info about this. -- nsouch@teaser.fr / nsouch@freebsd.org FreeBSD - Turning PCs into workstations - http://www.FreeBSD.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
