Peeter and the list,

Apologies for the PEBKAC (problem exists between keyboard and chair)
error here!  :-)

Suddenly occurred to me to check the version of my BIOS.  Apparently
it was written somewhere along the same time as the Protestant
Reformation in Europe.  Anyhow, I updated it to the latest version and
everything is working like a charm.

Sorry again for wasting folks time on an error in my brain but all is
well now and I really am looking forward to learning more about
DragonFlyBSD.  I'm a ports maintainer for several things on OpenBSD
and would love to see if I can help out here as well.  I've been a big
BSD fan since I was first exposed back in the SunOS4 and early Ultrix
days.

Thanks again!
