Hi Matt,

Thanks for the response.  I currently have disabled ACPI across the 
board and that seems to work fine.  I will try and get some verbose 
output from my bootup with ACPI enabled (busy investigating how to get 
all the debug info required) and send that in with my ACPI tables.  I 
should have a moment to do that tonight.

I assume that if I want to enable some verbose options I use the same 
method you described to boot with the -a option?

I am also in the process of upgrading to the latest base system.  Maybe 
that helps.

Thanks again for the assistance.  On the side.  I am very impressed with 
DragonFly.  Keep up the good work!

Kind regards,

Henry

   If the CD boots up ok and installs everything, but rebooting from the

   Possibilities include:  The BIOS IDE disk block translation mode,
   setting (or not setting) 'packet mode' in the boot code, and/or the
   kernel getting confused about the root filesystem.
   One thing that might help would be to 'boot -a' (hit '6' from the 
   DragonFly menu to drop into a boot prompt and type 'boot -a').  This
   tells the kernel to ask for the name of the root filesystem rather
   then trying to automount it, to see if the kernel actually gets that
   far.

:  my first BSD install, so I am not sure how to debug this.  Any ideas?
