Hi!

I have bought the official version = of FreeBSD=20 3.2 and tried to get the sound to work but it doesn't. I tried = 4Front's=20 software but that doesn't work either. I get messages that I can't = configure /dev/dsp: device is busy all of the time. Somtimes I = can't=20 "allocate 32768 M " problems. After reading a how-to on = AWE (I=20 have a SoundBlaster AWE64 PnP) sound cards http://membe= rs.home.net/conrads/awepnp-freebsd.html,=20 it still doesn't work. Then, 4Front said I should try FreeBSD 3.3 = but it=20 still doesn't work. I do get an error when I tried using awe0 at = 0x620:=20 device is not found when the computer boots. I wonder if that is = hanging=20 the computer.

Also, your boot cdrom (3.3) doesn't = boot. =20 3.2 does though. I don't know if you are aware of it. In = addition,=20 everytime I reboot, my master boot record gets erase to know which = partition is=20 made active. I have to boot into dos and fdisk to make the mbr=20 active. These problems I didn't have with 3.2.

Thanks in advance,
