Disabling APIC at the loader prompt: > set hint.apic.0.disabled="1" at the loader prompt not possible, as I won't get that far. As I wrote, booting from disk1s1a does not work. I do not get anything except a blank screen with the character "_" (*). I do not even get a message that there was no system to boot, so the BIOS seems to recognize at least the bootability of the installation. => I don't even get a boot prompt. The only thing that does work then is ctrl-alt-del <sigh> With booting from CD I can then load and start everything from disk1s1a via the loader - that is no problem (this includes disabling apic, as I wrote). > Also, you should post to and read the freebsd-current list for any > issues with FreeBSD 5-3-BETA's. I thought FreeBSD 6 is CURRENT, so with 5.3 being nearly STABLE... Regards, Holger Kipp (*) I falsely stated in my first mail that this is '-'.
