In my case the device is a flash/thumb drive for backing up files. I never figured out why so I just leave them unpluged during a reboot. Maybe it tries to boot from the usb drive which is not bootable so it just hangs in my case. ~Al Plant - Honolulu, Hawaii - Phone: 808-284-2740 + http://hawaiidakine.com + http://freebsdinfo.org + + http://aloha50.net - Supporting - FreeBSD 6.* - 7.* - 8.* + < email: noc@hdk5.net > "All that's really worth doing is what we do for others."- Lewis Carrol
