Hans-Christian, > usb0: SMM does not respind, resetting I wanted to build a custom boot floppy without USB support, but this laptop doesn't have a floppy drive. (Who ever heard of a laptop without a floppy drive?!) I eventually installed FreeBSD 3.5.1 and upgraded to 4.3. The lack of USB support in 3.5.1 actually allowed it to boot. Of course, the upgrade path is painful, due to the different IDE disk driver (wd -> ad). It's possible, though. I can confirm that the problem lies in the USB controller, not APM.
