Stephane, Since no one has replied I'll take a shot at answering your question. I had a very similar experience with my VAIO PCG-GR250P. My solution was to boot with 4.3-RELEASE, which loaded without problems. However, I was then unable to cvsup to 4-STABLE since the NIC in my VAIO, an Intel Pro 100/VE, wasn't supported until 4.4-RELEASE. The solution was for me was to borrow a cheap SMC 16-bit PCMCIA card which was recognized under 4.3. This allowed me to CVSUP to 4-STABLE and the machine boots okay now. Convulutged, I know, but that's how *I* got it to work. YMMV. Good luck, Sean. -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-mobile@FreeBSD.ORG [mailto:owner-freebsd-mobile@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of stepahne B Sent: Wednesday, December 26, 2001 3:25 AM To: freebsd-mobile@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Can't boot FreeBSD on a Sony VAIO qr10 Hello, I got a VAIO qr10 on which I would like to install FreeBSD.
