Loading /boot/defaults/loader.con \ At this point you have a hard refreeze -- no keyboard control, however I can reboot it from the Phantom card. System: Rackable C2004, dual Intel 2.66 processors, 4gb RAM, disk drive on built in SCSI port Absolutely nothing special, boots and runs 6.2 and 6.3 without a flaw. I'll have more time to investigate on Friday. Anything specific that would be more or less useful to debug in particular? -- Jo Rhett Net Consonance : consonant endings by net philanthropy, open source and other randomness
