This should work if you are installing dfly to the whole disk. Sascha

Please check out this issue - http://bugs.dragonflybsd.org/issues/989 Sascha I checked it out and sounds its kinda the identical problem my laptop is having; BIOS freezes while booting, keyboard is non reponsive, i have to powerdown the unit. Another user suggested turning off APCI from the BIOS, but it does not have that feature in the BIOS menu; it really has a basic BIOS menu. I ran a test by only formatting the Harddisk with both HAMMER and UFS from DragonFlyBSD's installer program to see how laptop would react when rebooted, the same thing occur , BIOS freezes on insyde ACPI BIOS initialized (Version 3.00.05).. I Guess the way the installer formats the hd is not agreeing with the way the BIOS functions, etc on this thing. How can i install DragonFlyBSD manually like it is stated in the bug report by using -C in fdisk?

You might also muck around with IRQ numbers for the various devices if that is possible. Also - you might want to make sure there are no errors when installing the bootsector on the HDD, or manually install (see the text file on the live cd root) and 'dd' the drive out before creating filesystems Cheers, - Chris
