Actually 4.0 does the same thing... you get the: Booting [kernel]... | and there it sits, no spin, no OS boot.... I haven't had time to really look into the situation yet, but I have figured out that if you hit TAB, to kill the pretty I-Opener logo in bios it boots fine. My thought it there is a probelm with it trying to boot in a graphics mode, which should be faily easy to avoid, there is a dos based util called cbrom.exe that can add/remove/change the bios logo, I figure if we remove it it will boot fine. I haven't investigated this yet. So perhaps someone else already has a known-working solution. -Steve At 09:04 PM 5/1/00 -0400, you wrote: >Hello all: > >I am trying to get FreeBSD running on an Iopener, and am getting some >strange behavior.
