Hi there! I have gladly installed FreeBSD5 on my laptop to be free from M$ !! :D And soon I will install it on my worksation aswell. Here is (In my eyes) an unusual bootup error. When I start my laptop everything is fine untill I have to choose how I want to boot FreeBSD. As a first try I choosed the default option just to see everything is working with the new kernel. It didn't.. I then tryed to boot with ACPI (choise nr 2 at the bootmenu), and everything started upp nicely. I normally only want to run with ACPI enabled, so it's not a large problem for me.. but maby for someone else? I have two questions.. 1: Is there something wrong with my kernelconfig or is it a bug? 2: How do I change the default boot procedure from "menu nr 1 (w/o ACPI)" to "menu nr 2 (w/ ACPI)"? I left some useful information at the bottom of this message. And here are a webpage that shows some information about my harware: http://support.packardbell.com/se/mypc/index.php?sernr=105601500123# Thanks!
