OTOH, neither OpenBSD's, nor several Linux distro's CD loaders seem to have problems with it. Last note: I've also tried the 6.0-BETA5 bootonly ISO, giving exactly the same result. So no FreeBSD on this laptop for me... :( ------------DFE422EEF59D38 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP MESSAGE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (MingW32) iD8DBQFDNykZsF6jCi4glqMRAmiUAKCSF/WCH+evpU4WaDDVul1OAHg01QCgqzMr HdZdF4ZEMRI+v9cD5bbyX64= =dr5m -----END PGP MESSAGE----- ------------DFE422EEF59D38--
