You should go through the list of various devices show in the config screen and disable those that correspond to hardware you don't have and change any IRQ/port settings that are wrong.

(Tries to use the same IRQ etc.) You should get rid of all the conflicts before you continue.) > however, i got this message: resource_list_alloc: resource entry is busy > > then bsd reboots itself. > > wat went wrong? > please advise. > > thanks > > matthew > singapore > > > > > > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
