When I try to boot directly the machine reboots too quickly for me to be able to catch the error message. The register dump is from VMWare trying to boot the said FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE as guest OS using the mentioned disk in raw disk mode on a friend's machine. FreeBSD 4.10-STABLE runs just fine that way on his system. This makes me think it might not be BIOS related. > What brand/model machine is this? i386, Athlon XP CPU, Chaintech 7SID (Sis 735 chipset) motherboard with the latest official BIOS. > Other things you might try: > > .

I'll look into the DMA issue. Thanks for your quick reply. ALeine ___________________________________________________________________ WebMail FREE http://mail.austrosearch.net
