Peeter and the list, Apologies for the PEBKAC (problem exists between keyboard and chair) error here! :-) Suddenly occurred to me to check the version of my BIOS. Apparently it was written somewhere along the same time as the Protestant Reformation in Europe. Anyhow, I updated it to the latest version and everything is working like a charm. Sorry again for wasting folks time on an error in my brain but all is well now and I really am looking forward to learning more about DragonFlyBSD. I'm a ports maintainer for several things on OpenBSD and would love to see if I can help out here as well. I've been a big BSD fan since I was first exposed back in the SunOS4 and early Ultrix days. Thanks again!
