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.
