[-- Attachment #1 --] Hi! I have bought the official version of FreeBSD 3.2 and tried to get the sound to work but it doesn't. I tried 4Front's 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 "allocate 32768 M " problems. After reading a how-to on AWE (I have a SoundBlaster AWE64 PnP) sound cards http://members.home.net/conrads/awepnp-freebsd.html, it still doesn't work. Then, 4Front said I should try FreeBSD 3.3 but it still doesn't work. I do get an error when I tried using awe0 at 0x620: device is not found when the computer boots. I wonder if that is hanging the computer. Also, your boot cdrom (3.3) doesn't boot. 3.2 does though. I don't know if you are aware of it. In addition, everytime I reboot, my master boot record gets erase to know which partition is made active. I have to boot into dos and fdisk to make the mbr active. These problems I didn't have with 3.2. Thanks in advance, Rick [-- Attachment #2 --] <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD W3 HTML//EN"> <HTML> <HEAD> <META content=text/html;charset=iso-8859-1 http-equiv=Content-Type> <META content='"MSHTML 4.72.3110.7"' name=GENERATOR> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=#ffffff> <DIV> <DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>Hi!</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>I have bought the official version of FreeBSD 3.2 and tried to get the sound to work but it doesn't.
