Anyone know what this means ?
pnpbios: Bad PnP BIOS data checksum
So far, everything worked pretty good for me, so I'm pretty confused as to
what's possibly failing. I have looked over the archive and the only answer
was FreeBSD simply refused to use the information from existing PnP BIOS in
this case due to bad checksum calculation. Does it use its own BIOS code
then ?
'dmesg -a' output up to the error message :
