Does "options PNPBIOS" fix this? I have a SiS496+AMDK4/133 box where FreeBSD4 hangs up without this option during searching ISA PnP devices, and there are no "PNP OS Yes/No" switch in BIOS. "options PNPBIOS" enables system to load and work correctly but it was found occasionally, no man mentiones this option in such context. (FreeBSD3 did not require any special options to boot.) /netch To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
