However, I was still unable to install 5.1-JPSNAP on the machine. With the BIOS settings you suggested, I managed to get to sysinstall. After specifying the desired install setting, sysinstall refuses to install, claiming it did not detect a CD/DVD drive? The drive in question is detected during boot as: umass0: NewAge International STORIX Optical Series, rev 2.00/0.01 (see http://www.isi.edu/larse/misc/DSC00909.JPG) Can sysinstall not install off of USB drives? To circumvent this issue, I copied the install CD contents onto a local FTP server, and tried a network install. After contacting the server and formatting the partition, sysinstall panic'ed died with an ffs panic. A snapshot of the traceback is here: http://www.isi.edu/larse/misc/DSC00908.JPG Any ideas on how to pull -current onto this laptop, other then installing -stable and compiling from scratch?
