I don't have a clue to what is causing it, but I have a KB9202 here since a couple of weeks, and I have noticed the same problem. As it was my first experience with FreeBSD on anything not i386 and not Sparc I assumed I was doing something wrong :) I boot my board over TFTP, but I have yet to check wether the entire kernel gets downloaded, or if it's the TFTP client that only reads the first +/- 2.6 MByte. grtz, Daan
