I have an epox 8rda and when it boots up the lcd on the board singnals FF, meaning alls good. Then the boot manager comes up, I choose bsd and after the kenerl starts to load( or just before, its hard to tell because this is a fast booting machince) the lcd changes to 10. My manual says it is "Auto detect flash type to load appropriate flash R/W codes into runtime area F000 for ESCD & DMI support." It has never does this before, it has always stayed FF. Does these mean sometype type of new feature is now supported in freebsd? In win98 it stays FF and I know win98 does not support all of the board functions because it is an old os and the nvidia drivers did not help to support all the features ether. Thanks, Jason
