With the old one loading scheme, a lot BIOSes getting in trouble and will yhow you the message you have seen. I had that problem with an Acer Travelmate 512T. The only way to install FreeBSD on this Laptop was via Floppy (you can find them on the FTP Server). With FreeBSD-Current snapshot and FreeBSD-DP2 you can also boot from the CD, the loader changed. Try them out, or use the two installation floppies if you want ro run FreeBSD < DP2. hth asg To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
