But it is not the videocard, but the floppy which is supposed to be detected AFTER this line? I also only get this when booting from disk, never from harddisk, and the second try (with a hard reset inbetween, with *exactly* the same parameters) always succeeds. So probably the first time the fd0 controller is reset some way that enables the second time to function. My machine is a Cyrix p150+, which is also non-mmx. This machine also has the weird habit that if I don't push the floppy in the drive BEFORE the bios detects the drive (after the memory test), it doesn't see it, and can't boot from it. Also the fd- light stays on in those cases. Marco van de Voort (MarcoV@Stack.nl) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
