The last 6.0 ISO I tried would panic if I tried to disable syscons. As such, I have to plug a USB keyboard into my latop and also do the "skipslot" thingy to get it recognized instead of my bluetooth. Does this one have any improvement in any of the above areas? :) Dave On Jul 15, 2005, at 5:50 PM, Peter Grehan wrote: > Hi all, > > Not sure if y'all saw the announcement on the freebsd-hackers list: > > http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/mid.cgi?42D79676.6040606 > > Unfortunately, there are a couple of regressions in the BETA1 > install iso from the last iso I put up, so I'd recommend giving > this one a miss and waiting for the next beta build, unless you > want to upgrade and are prepared for some of the annoyances.
