 Dear Bruce,
 Thankyou for your assistance...
 
 I'm afraid that I can only see the last page of the startup sequence  
 and I'm unable to save the message summary to disk.
 It's a standard dumb terminal.
 I will however attempt to type the summary as I see it on the screen...

 That's it I'm afraid... hope it helps!!
 This was with FreeBSD 9.0 May 2010 on an AMD2800 nVidia GeForce 4 with  
 512Mb of memory system
 FN41S00Y nVidia  Crush18G + MCP2 motherboard  with just the CD/DVD  
 drive and 1 hard drive, no floppy.
 The hard drive is a Seagate ST340016A 3.19 drive. 40Gb!!
 It does work under FreeBSD 7.2!!
 
 Cheers,
 Bruce Stephens,
 Melbourne Australia.
