After installation I had to make sure both of these settings end up in /boot/loader.conf so the machine comes up. Unfortunately I've now got another problem: When doing a "sync" this command obviously doesn't terminate (i.e. no commandline-prompt reappearing). Could this be related to the same cause? BTW, Any documentation as to what these two settings you mentioned actually do? Thanks for your help! -ewald
