It works as I want when > running W2K. The problem is that Windows sets BIOS dynamically from the registry at boot time. That's why the Windows setting is not seen from FreeBSD. To change this in 4.8, boot Windows, bring up a command window, and use the ps2 command to modify the BIOS settings in CMOS memory. Those will "stick" and work for FreeBSD. Try 'ps2 ?' for help. I don't remember the parameter that needs changing, but it was not hard to find. You can do 'ps2 ? PARAM' to get details on each parameter. Many can be useful with FreeBSD. -- R.
