I managed to get it booting when removing the network card and switching the PCI slot for the SCSI card. Then I installed and configured FreeBSD, rebooted, and configured a vinum stripeset across four disks. While performing a newfs on the vinum volume, the kernel kept on complaining `trap 19 while interrupts disabled'. And now the fun part. I reinstalled the network card, it didn't boot. Then again removed the network card, it still does not boot. Removed the SCSI controller too, booting from CDROM fails. I can do whatever I want, it does not boot anymore. I have tried another computer with the same motherboard, and it boots just fine from CD. Could it be faulty hardware? The thing is, Win2K does run without noticeable problems. -- Dr. K.R.A.M.
