Thank you, James, Rocky, and John... No resolution yet, but you guys are definitely quick on the replies and have solid answers to research. Now I understand why so many FBSD'ers swear by it: it's the responsiveness of these lists! It's a very big encouragement to someone new to the OS, and you have my deep gratitude for your assistance. OK, my suspicions agree with yours...and it ain't just FBSD. FYI, I've never gotten the SB Live! to work in Windows on this mobo, Win98 or WinME, though no resources appear to conflict; it works perfectly in Linux (multiple distros). Until WinME, had an odd problem with the NDIS driver: could not boot Win whenever any NIC was installed. I've never really been able to isolate the problems: CPU, mobo, bad RAM??? But since everything worked in Linux, I figured it was differences between the OS's. But I've always wondered if it had something to do with the mobo, something that Linux was more tolerant of than Win. Installing FBSD seems to have brought those issues to the fore. I tried John's suggestion, going to ttyv1 (and ttyv2, 3, & 4), but as soon as I put a command in, the "microuptime()" lines started bursting forth as before. I think now I'll reinstall without the APM option. I recall where the APM code for Linux used to be buggy, and it took developers awhile to make it work across many mobo platforms. It really does appear, in reading Rocky's and James' replies, that it may have something to do with earlier Athlon CPU's or certain Athlon motherboards (or just bad system clocks?). Again, thank you guys for all the solid help. I'll post back once I've reinstalled.
