If I pressed and released the power button, the computer would shut off. Then I'd immediately turn it back on, and it would continue probing from where it left off. That way I could at least boot the system. To fix the real problem, I set the IRQ of my pcmcia controller properly. I can't remember the correct settings now, though - I'm on a different machine. -- Carl Tucker cft@panix.com flestrin@worldnet.att.net tuckercl@phnsy.navy.mil To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
