I am trying to run FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE on a Dell PowerEdge 850 with

different. My machine hangs up after the following line is displayed
during boot:
acd0: CDROM <TEAC CD-ROM CD-224E-N/3.AB> at ata0-master UDMA33

Thanks for the reply, Adam. I actually tried the verbose_logging="YES"
in my /boot/loader.conf file prior to posting but it still hangs after
the CD-ROM line for some reason.
Hey, no problem, Jeff. To be frank, I just signed up for Questions,
after Google Summer of Code, and yours is the first one I've answered.
Glad to see that I've started on the right foot though.
It appears the only way the machine will boot up properly is if I hit 5
on the boot menu. This obviously doesn't make remote reboots very
"admin friendly"!
I know that I setup something like this once, because I needed it to
always drop to command line. I can help you emulate what's in menu
option 5, in a loader.4th script. But you'll have to drop the pretty
menu, and logo... If you're willing let me know.
Thanks again for your reply!
Like I said, no problem. Thanks for your enthusiastic support.
Regards,

P.S.: It's still me, the same Adam. Just figured I should use my
FreeBSD From: address instead of fsl.
