It's not clear to me whether this is the same issue (or whether the thinks you linked to are all the same issue), though it definitely could be. In the post I made in January I mentioned that I'd successfully installed other things (specifically Debian and HP-UX) without any problems at all, so I'm inclined to believe this is a problem with either FreeBSD's GENERIC kernel or FreeBSD's EFI loader. Mostly my frustration at this point is trying to determine whether this is a known issue or not. I guess I'll have to live with Debian for a while.... Mike
