Subject:   New BTX bootloader hangs my box

Hi,

I've recently upgraded my box from FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE to 7.1-RELEASE.

Now, whenever I reboot my machine it hangs during the boot proces.

I have a Fasttrak TX2 100 card in my system which is used for booting =
FreeBSD and it shows fine while it's searching for attached drives, but =
after it loads the MBR the system shows the Fasttrak BIOS again and =
locks up everything. The only way to resolve this is:

1) Turn off the system with the power button (reset button and =
ctrl-alt-delete don't work)
2) Turn it back on and go into the Fasttrak BIOS setup. (This is =
required, because if I don't it'll get stuck like I explained above).
3) Quit the Fasttrak BIOS and restart the system
4) Everything loads fine now until I do another 'shutdown -r now'

FreeBSD 7.0 never caused any trouble so I'm assuming this has to do with =
the changes to the BTX bootloader.

Does anyone know how to fix this ?

Thanks in advance.

Best,
Ralf van der Enden
