Hi:

I'm a newbie to FreeBSD and I've installed 7.0 on a USB flash card, but I
can't seem to boot off of
it. I don't get an error message, the PC just goes through POST, then
re-cycles and continues this loop.

I was able to get OpenBSD to boot off of this flash card, so I know my
hardware setup is ok.

A couple other things I tried, from the loader prompt:

set currdev=disk1s1a:
load /boot/kernel/kernel

but I just get BTX halted.

Just wondering if anyone else has seen this issue?

Regards,

Fred
