Its been a while since I last tried so I cant get any clearer on the error message, but I was wondering if anyone has any version of freebsd installed on a dell inspiron. I will be trying tomorrow night to install 5.1 and I will comment on the success or failure soon. I figure someone is gonna ask me for the puter specs so here they are: [...] It is a known problem with that laptop: At boot, during kernel countdown, hit space. At OK prompt type boot -c then eisa 0 then quit It should boot, once the system is installed, build a kernel with a commented out "device eisa" line. Marc
