Taking a hard drive from a working install of almost -current and placing it into the Portege 3010 shows a dump of reg values and the message "BTX Halted". This happens shortly after typing /boot/loader <enter> at the boot: prompt; moments later the machine reboots. Googling points at playing with DMA/PIO options in the BIOS until the message goes away - there are no such options in the Portege's BIOS, but I've pretty much tweaked every setting that there is, and the results are exactly the same. I've also found some posts of freebsd 3.x supposedly working with this machine. So... was something broken along the way, was support removed, or is there something I am missing which will allow me to boot this machine into 5-current?
