I speak here of the detection that happens right after the memory check, before any booting process begins. It's something like "Adaptec SCSI controller SCSI-Select utility; press ctrl-A for setup", which is normally followed by the detection of my CDROM and SCSI disk; this is the part that never happens if I've just rebooted from FreeBSD without shutting the machine off. I would appreciate any insights. Markus
