Fallback option: find a small USB storage device (sandisk ultra fit or similar) and leave it in the machine to boot from. This does--until the boot process panics before it gets very far. I'm going to try -current just for fun. If that doesn't work I'm just going to send it back and try something else. Jeff No change with -current. For reference, here's the panic and trace, transcribed from photos so I hope there aren't too many typos: ddb{0}> show panic kernel page fault uvm_fault(0x82244830, 0x30,0,2) -> e drm_helper_probe_single_connector_modes(808c4000,7f , 7f) at drm_helper_probe_single_connector_modes+0x120 end trace frame: 0x8000223d0970, count: 0 ddb{0}> trace drm_helper_probe_single_connector_modes(808c4000,7f , 7f) at drm_helper_probe_single_connector_modes+0x120 drm_client_modset_probe(80210408) at output_pollexecute+0x22d taskq_thread(801ec280) at taskq_thread+0x81 end trace frame: )x), count: -5 I'll also send this in to sendbug.
