It would be interesting to > see whether that made a difference. I'm not using the loader. I netboot the kernel with hints compiled in. The board has no VGA device, so I use a serial console, but the bios doesn't support a serial console. All I can do is wait for the bios to get etherboot loaded and then I get my serial output. As far as ACPI is concerned, I haven't got that built into the kernel and there are no modules for the kernel to load and no loader to load them. This is a very simple kernel: machine i386 cpu I486_CPU cpu I586_CPU cpu I686_CPU ident GENERIC makeoptions KERNEL_KO=nfsvidservrkern hints "../../../NFSVIDEO.hints" options CPU_ELAN options CONSPEED=38400 # Speed for serial console options SCHED_4BSD # 4BSD scheduler options INET # InterNETworking options FFS # Berkeley Fast Filesystem options COMPAT_43 # Compatible with BSD 4.3 [KEEP THIS!] options COMPAT_FREEBSD4 # Compatible with FreeBSD4 options _KPOSIX_PRIORITY_SCHEDULING # Posix P1003_1B real-time extensions options NFSCLIENT # Network Filesystem Client options NFS_ROOT # NFS usable as root device, NFS required options BOOTP # Use BOOTP to obtain IP address/hostname options BOOTP_NFSROOT # NFS mount root filesystem using BOOTP info options BOOTP_COMPAT # Workaround for broken bootp daemons. options DDB options INVARIANTS # Enable calls of extra sanity checking options INVARIANT_SUPPORT # Extra sanity checks of internal structures, required by INVARIANTS options WITNESS # Enable checks to detect deadlocks and cycles options WITNESS_SKIPSPIN # Don't run witness on spinlocks for speed options WITNESS_DDB options BREAK_TO_DEBUGGER device isa device pci device ata device atadisk # ATA disk drives options ATA_STATIC_ID # Static device numbering device npx device sio device miibus # MII bus support device fxp # Intel EtherExpress PRO/100B (82557, 82558) device smpg device loop # Network loopback device ether # Ethernet support device md # Memory disk -- John Birrell
