That's all. After displaying that slash character (not even rotating it :) ) the PC is dead. Ctrl+Alt+Del or Reset btn are the only options. This strange behavior is speciffic only to PC-BSD 8.0 RC2. All other previous versions (8.0 alpha, 8.0 RC) worked just fine, displayng smth about memory allocated and continued with the FreeBSD loader and all the stuff

I changed a heap of stuff in the bios and it worked. I'll test which setting it was probably was LBA or acpi I turned them on
PCBSD 64 r8
That doesn't make a lot of sense, since the FreeBSD BTX loaders and such are exactly the same since the late 8.0-Alphas -> 8.0-Release. (All regular FreeBSD 8.0-Release). Can you confirm this still fails on PC-BSD 8.0?
