The install CD would crash and burn, unless I nooted in safe mode. Once I installed FreeBSD I'd have MASSIVE troubles with stability unless I booted in safe mode, which I would use to build an SMP kernel, after which, no stability troubles. Go figure, but I've taken experiences like this as a bad omen for contemporary FreeBSD. :/ -danny -- http://dannyman.toldme.com/
