F2 FreeBSD F3 ... it chooses the FreeBSD only, but nothing else. (2) at boot processing Hit [Enter] to boot immediately, or any other key for command prompt Booting [kernel] ...... Hanging !!!!!!!!! Once the booting hangs, the system cannot be soft reset. A hardware reset must be performed. The hanging happens at installation time when using a floppy drive. It also hangs on booting from hard drives. The hanging has no certain pattern. Normally, it happens when hitting the [Enter] too quick and too many times; sometime, it happens without any key stroking. >How-To-Repeat: Observe booting on above Hardwares, as well as other hardware combinations. >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
