I was finally able to get it to boot. Here's what I did : 1. Bringing up the boot choice menu before the loader starts to let the cdrom settle before selecting to boot off cd 2. Entering "set hint.kbdmux.0.disabled=1" in the boot loader prompt What happened, unfortunately, was the USB keyboard I had plugged into the laptop didn't work after the command in #2, obviously. I'm not sure if this will happen every time I boot, or perhaps will work if I plug in the keyboard after waiting to boot, but at the very least I can get into sysinstall now. I will be installing 7-release this weekend and I will post any relevant updates in this thread. Thank you all for your help and assistance in this matter, it is greatly appreciated. ~k _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
