It's trying to take over the whole machine at a really fundamental level, and the software that hosts the boot code isn't prepared to give up that much control. You could submit a problem report (PR) for this, though I doubt there's likely to be anything that can be done about it immediately. One workaround would be to install FreeBSD 3.0R (which uses older boot code) and then upgrade to 3.2 without doing a reinstall. -- Robert Nordier To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
