I'm sure it's related to the bios, I wonder why FreeBSD install CD can't boot in some laptops while windows and Linux always can boot. The ACPI has been updated in current, I don't know why you can't get the FreeBSD install VD to boot at all. Maybe some dev can shed the light on this. -- Regards, -Abdullah Ibn Hamad Al-Marri Arab Portal http://www.WeArab.Net/
