I presume that the problem with the card has something to do with heat because after the machine cools for a while it will boot OK again, but I would like for some- one to explain why the bios can find the card, and the freebsd boot sequence begin, yet as it is checking the devices it cannot find the very card where it got its bootstrap load from. Anyone have an explaination of any of this? stu stu@shemp.stooges.capnet.state.tx.us
