      Strange, you might use the Compaq smartstart cd or whatever it's called (I don't believe the G2's have a traditionally configurable BIOS) and futz with the settings.  Maybe it needs to be configured to unix/freebsd/linux/whatever non-windows setting there is.

            Try the other options then, maybe one of them is suitable for freebsd as well.

                I always select Linux from the smart start fun-ness cd.

                Afterwards I scrub my hands for as long as often as they feel dirty.

                  As originally suggested, linux is likely the "best" option.

                    :D

                    well… seems to be most popular...

                    but perhaps one day there will be a pfsense option in the bios  :P

                      I was seeing the same problems on my IBM x330 Dual P3 box. Appears to be ACPI related.

                      hint.acpi.0.disabled=1 to /boot/loader.conf

                      should take care of it
