I have switched to working hardware. Sure makes a difference ;-) Now I am down to a couple issues: 1. When booting I first get the following: F1: FreeBSD F5: Drive 0 F6: PXE Boot: F1 At that point it just sits and starts adding #s at the end of the Boot statement. If I press F5 (none of the other F keys do anything), then I get another Boot: F1 line and its sits for a moment and then boots from the disk. I used the standard install with the FreeBSD Boot Loader. After that the system comes up and runs fine. I am only using it for network testing so haven't placed any great load on it but everything I have tried works fine - until I try and shut it down. Then I get a panic at the very end. It also does not shut off the power. I have a console log of the entire boot/shutdown process. The only user command I entered was shutdown -p now. /boot.config: -Dh Consoles: internal video/keyboard serial port BIOS drive A: is disk0 BIOS drive C: is disk1 BIOS 638kB/64512kB available memory FreeBSD/i386 bootstrap loader, Revision 1.1 (root@almeida.cse.buffalo.edu, Sun Sep 6 03:42:03 UTC 2009) Loading /boot/defaults/loader.conf /boot/kernel/kernel text=0x8b2774 data=0xde874+0x1feb04 syms= [0x4+0x9c300+0 x4+0xd55bb] | ZDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD? 3 3 3 3 ______ 3 3 | ____| __ ___ ___ 3 Welcome to FreeBSD! 3 | |__ | '__/ _ \/ _ \ 3 3 | __|| | | __/ __/ 3 3 | | | | | | | 3 1.
