New page

need to add something somewhere about usb chipset issues (bug report: http://markmail.org/message/smxnofrdmmkxyvnd)

solution during boot is to escape to loader prompt, type:

set hint.hpet.0.allowed_irqs="0x400000"

set the hint to install and once again in the loader to boot the install, then add it to loader.conf

	It would be helpful to have any idea what some of the errors these various problems give as output, even if it is a panic shortly after an attempted boot. Knowing what the problem looks like in those situations where the hardware may not be fully known, would be a great help in making suggestions for possible fixes- and also might help with generalizing with errors that have similar solutions.
