Dear all of you,



My computer (HP Compaq DC7100) refuses to boot to NetBSD. It enters the MBR=
, I then select NetBSD

in the bootloader and the computer reboots! What kind of behavior is this, =
and why won't it give NetBSD a chance?



I'm aware that some UNIX systems need a patch to work on this type of compu=
ter:

mp&admit=3D552267591+1103976356811+28353475



But in my case, what do I need to do? Disabling ACPI in the BIOS doesn't wo=
rk.

I'm informed (when I reinsert my S-ATA HD) that if I'm running UNIX, I shou=
ld enable it in the BIOS.

But guess what? There are no such options. Believe me I've looked.



Does anybody know what's going on?



Thanks.

Dr. Galvin Hobbes @ FTEG
