Pressing 6 and > entering : > > > set hint.apic.0.disabled=1 > set hint.sio.0.disabled=1 > set hint.sio.1.disabled=1 Just tried the above with 6.3-RELEASE amd64 snapshot (200806) , as well as 7.0-RELEASE amd64 snapshot (200806), with pressing the spacebar, pressing 6 at boot screen and typing the above options. For 6.3-RELEASE, it actually got to sysinstall. For 7.0-RELEASE, it seemed to hang at "Trying to mount root from ufs:/dev/md0". When I have time (tonight perhaps), I will try to do a full install of 6.3-RELEASE and see how that functions. Unfortunately there are no amd64 snapshots for 200807, so if I cant install 6.3 I may wait until more updated snapshots come out. ~k
