I verified no power management options are turned on. I also ensured "plug and play OS" was disabled too. The compooter still won't get past the BTX loader. Something about a Gateway ALR 9200 is not liked by freebsd of any flavor. I still get the same "BTX halted" right after I choose any option on the boot-up freebsd menu except 6. I'm really lost here.
