It still loads the loader, displays that it is loading the /boot/loader.conf file, but before it displays that it loading the kernel it crashes (no output of crash available, as the display is unreadable due to crash). But if I hold down the space bar while it is booting, it displays that it is loading /boot/kernel/kernel and then proceeds as normal going into the sysinstall menu. In an attempt to isolate the problem, I copied the kernel and loader off the CD onto the HD of my installed FreeBSD/amd64 systems /boot directory, and I had no problem booting off the HD with the kernel or loader from the CD. I also upgraded the BIOS from F.31 to F.33, this still didn't fix the problem of booting off of the CD. Scot -- DISCLAIMER: No electrons were mamed while sending this message. Only slightly bruised.
