Did you go into kernel configuration mode at bootup and disable everything you don't have/need? Someone posted a message a while ago about his CD-ROM causing it to lock up. Try disabling the IDE controller that the CD-ROM's attached to (if it's different from your hard drive), and see if it still hangs. Also, sending us a copy of the bootup hardware probes would help. --Ludwig Pummer ( ludwigp@bigfoot.com ) ICQ UIN: 692441 ( ludwigp@email.com ) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
