Hi, This has been one of my laptops. It had three partitions on it, the first one FreeBSD. > How does it crash? I have lilo installed. When I choose freebsd, I get the normal freebsd loader: >> FreeBSD/i386 BOOT After that, I see very fast a message scrolling over the screen, it turns black again, and voila, the box has rebooted. I've killed the second box the same way. After restoring boot0/boot1 I found that my disklables were nuked. Enjoy. > You mean without loader? From the boot blocks? If so, > the support for this has been broken for a long time. > Ask BDE for patches. :-) Yes from the boot blocks. > > Also, have you tried the official 5.1-RELEASE bits, > like booting from the installation CD-ROM? No, I just upgraded with RELENG_5_0_0 from source.
