Subject:   Problems booting after A7V Bios update

Hello,

I have an ASUS A7V motherboard, after I upgraded the BIOS from
revision 1003 to 1007, FreeBSD fails to boot up. I also have Debian on
my computer (using lilo) and Debian boots fine. Here is what happens when
I try and boot FreeBSD (4.3) :

BTX loader 1.00 BTX version is 1.01
Console: internal video/keyboard
BIOS drive A: is disk0
BIOS drive C: is disk1
BIOS 634kB/392112kB available memory

FreeBSD/i386 bootstrap loader, Revision 0.8
(root@elmo, Wed May 30 13:54:38 BST 2001)

- nothing happens after this, it just sits there. I made a boot disk from
the fixit.flp floppy image on my FreeBSD CD, and can boot FreeBSD using
that.
I've tried using sysinstall to 'reinstall' FreeBSD's bootloader - I
tried installing both the standard MBR and FreeBSD's bootmanager, but they
both halt at the same place said above.

Does anyone know what is causing this and how to fix it?
