There's no apparent setting for it. I just tried under BIOS GG.06.07, which is old (and used to work with FreeBSD 3.0S) and just flashed a new one (GG.06.13) which was released a month ago, and there's still no setting for it. Unfortunately, I didn't boot the machine after adding RAM but before swapping drives, so I don't really know if this is being caused by the added RAM or a change in FreeBSD. I can always pull the RAM (or put in the old drive) but both require I open that damn box and it's built like a tank. Either way, I'm sunk... I need the RAM and I don't want to lock myself into using an older version of FreeBSD I won't be able to upgrade, for obvious reasons. Maybe I'll go play with the OS Type. I wonder if OS/2, Win NT, or Win 95 might select it somehow (right now it's set to "Other", and I'd hate to have to specify a "WinSomething" to make this work, heheheh). HP's are strange sometimes. The damn scrolling config utility gives me a headache. Thanks for the hints though. ...
