 The same thing, it seems. It doesn't get any further, at least not as far=20
 as I can see on the console.
 
 I just tried booting it without ACPI in verbose mode:
 
 unset acpi_load
 boot -Dhv
 
 and the last lines of output I see are:
 
 Mounting root from ufs:/dev/md0
 start_init: trying /sbin/init
 start_init: trying /sbin/oinit
 start_init: trying /sbin/init.bak
 start_init: trying /stand/sysinstall
 
 When booting in safe mode, the last output I see is:
 Mounting root from ufs:/dev/md0
 
 I have not booted in safe mode with verbose output since I'm not sure how=20
 to activate safe mode with commands to the boot menu.
 
 One thing I forgot to mention is that I can boot+install FreeBSD 4.9 just=20
 fine on that laptop, it's the 5.x (5.1 + 5.2, haven't tested 5.0) series=20
 that's giving me problems.
 
 --=20
