I am not sure what happened, but it looks like there was a problem with MIME and/or the stripping of it, so some (seemingly) random equal signs were inserted in the message, making it look like blank space after that in those lines of text in some MUAs. Anyway, here's what his post looks like without the garble: -- Dear all of you, My computer (HP Compaq DC7100) refuses to boot to FreeBSD. It enters the MBR, I then select FreeBSD in the bootloader and the computer reboots! What kind of behavior is this, and why won't it give FreeBSD a chance? I'm aware that some UNIX systems need a patch to work on this type of computer: [1]http://www5.itrc.hp.com/service/patch/wrap.do?pageKey=patch.jsp.archiveJump&admit=552267591+1103976356811+28353475 But in my case, what do I need to do? Disabling ACPI in the BIOS doesn't work. I'm informed (when I reinsert my S-ATA HD) that if I'm running UNIX, I should enable it in the BIOS. But guess what? There are no such options. Believe me I've looked. Does anybody know what's going on? Thanks. Dr. Galvin Hobbes @ FTEG
