Try "set hw.eisa_slots=0" on the loader prompt (press a key during the 10 second boot delay to get there, and continue booting with the "boot" command when you are done). If that works, just build a kernel without eisa support as soon as the installation is done. - Thomas -- Thomas Moestl http://www.tu-bs.de/~y0015675/ http://people.FreeBSD.org/~tmm/ PGP fingerprint: 1C97 A604 2BD0 E492 51D0 9C0F 1FE6 4F1D 419C 776C To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
