What can you propose than ? > How can I turn off PCI probing ? You can build a kernel without PCI support (remove the line "controller pci0" and all the PCI specific drivers), and install it under a non-default name, eg. /kernel.altos. Move over the drive to your ALTOS 7000 and enter /kernel.altos at the "Boot: " prompt. The PCI probe really should work, if you are using a recent version of FreeBSD. If it doesn't, then I'll need some debug output from a boot on your system, and will then fix the PCI code ... Regards, STefan
