I've got the serial console attached, I've got DDB compiled into the kernel, I've got DEBUGGER_ON_BREAK defined, but none of that helps when the bootloader is what craps out on me. Here's what I got this time: F1 DOS F2 FreeBSD F5 Drive 1 Default: F2 /boot.config: -P Keyboard: no int=00000000 err=00000000 efl=00030083 eip=00000004 eax=000004e3 ebx=0000097f ecx=0000dc00 edx=000034be esi=0000dc00 edi=00000004 ebp=00000000 esp=000004ce cs=c800 ds=c800 es=9e7d fs=0000 gs=0000 ss=9e7b cs:eip=d4 00 00 00 00 00 00 00-00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ss:esp=00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00-00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 System halted I hope I typed that in correctly. Anyway, I'm pretty sure that I'm using the latest boot blocks and bootloader -- I followed steps #4 & #5 of 14.5.4.2 of the Handbook (see <http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/x10359.html>) after my most recent installworld (from late last week), and I had to do a "make clean; make install" in each case. I just pressed the reset switch and rebooted, and this occurred again with exactly the same values, etc... -- it appears that this problem is reproducible. I'm going to try rebooting with the keyboard plugged in, so that I can see if this makes a difference. Is any of this of actually any help to anyone on this list, or should I be posting these questions/updates to some other list (e.g., -current, or -hackers)? -- These are my opinions and should not be taken as official Skynet policy ========================================================================= Brad Knowles, <blk@skynet.be> Sys.
