Since then there has been silence regarding this "who knows how
to translate it into FreeBSD speak" part.  No, I didn't want to
start a (another?) Gentoo thread.  I thought there had been quite
a few Vaio users with a similar problem and there could have been
a known solution already.  But since neither do I own a Vaio nor
do I have access to one the above question was this unspecific
and maybe disoriented.  But I asked in the hope that it will turn
into something helpful ...

Or has this already been resolved and the "I can boot from CD but
cannot access it from the running FreeBSD system" is not a problem
at all (any longer)?
