Hello Joerg,

# 
# I hardly doubt.  Remember, the BIOS _finds_ the disk, it's FreeBSD
# that fails.  And FreeBSD doesn't use the BIOS once the kernel has been
# loaded.

	Is there some probability that incorrect BIOS settings
	will initialize hardware (controller or maybe even disks)
	to some "bad" state and FreeBSD than won't work?
	That's what I mean. Miracles are too rare to consider them
	seriously. :-)
