Disabling probes for non-present hardware cures the problem. We suspect the cause is that Peak use some memory in the C0000-E0000 range for some purpose of their own. >How-To-Repeat: Attempt to install FreeBSD on a Peak SBC. >Fix: Workaround: disable probes for hardware you haven't got. Fix: unknown. >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
