(See this page[1] for my adventures with this laptop.) This laptop doesn't say "BTX halted", it just scrolls a lot of text (register dumps?) across the screen forever. I did: cd /usr/src/sys patch < ../.../realbtx.2.patch cd boot/i386 make Then I copied the files to the usb hdd (da0) with boot0cfg -B -b /usr/obj/usr/src/sys/boot/i386/boot0/boot0 da0 mount /dev/da0s1a /mnt cp -v /usr/obj/usr/src/sys/boot/i386/loader/loader /mnt/boot Is this the correct way to do it? Then I unmounted the disk and tried to boot it. Unfortunately, nothing changed. When booted (from usb hdd) the laptop still scrolls text across the screen forever. I have to turn it off with the power button. Should this patch work on my laptop? 1) http://tingox.googlepages.com/aceraspireas5672andfreebsd -- Regards, Torfinn Ingolfsen _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
