I've noticed that BTX halts about 60% of the time for me via DVD. My keyboard also does not work at login prompt or elsewhere (during fsck...faster!) until after about 2-3 keypresses, after which it's fine. BTX via CD/DVD actually seems to work better if i start impatiently hitting the keyboard when "-" appears. I'm not sure if this is a related issue. I also had amd64 btx problems on a Dell desktop, so it might be a SATA/scsi/cam timeout thing. Never had a problem on server hardware, although most of those boxes were Opterons (and thus associated chipsets). I've come to view FreeBSD dvd boots as a form of gambling. Matt
