Hi!

What was the name of the switch? In my case (virtual USB-CDROM from a
remote-management card) DFly still panics during kernel boot. I used the
newest CD image from

The setup works on other systems, like debian, knoppix, netbsd, freebsd
etc. I think also that there should be everything ok with the BIOS. Can
anybody think of another possiblity to get DFly on this machine? And no,
unfortunately I do not have access to a real CDROM on this machine.
