If I don't have the power cord plugged in, the system hangs at Entropy harvesting: ethernet point_to_point If tap the power/reset slider on the case, it prints the following: load: 2.40 cmd: dd 71 [running] 0.00u 0.00s 0% 744k Is this a power management issue (apm OR acpi)? Plugged in, it boots fine. Is there, hopefully some toggle to tell it what to do when its plugged in or not? freebsd-questions list user name: loonybomber
