Hello all,
2 Days along... i try to find any Solution for my Trouble... Please Help
me if you can!

I maked BootOnly CD i386 (FreeBSD 7.0), boot it from USB CD-ROM Drive, and
in 2 sec is see on the firststep - BTX Loader halted... Thats all...

I found some answers in the maillistarchive, but all - not want worked by
my pc... Everything in Bios switched to off, if i make SATA Controller off
i see it again "BTX Loader halted"... This cant be HDD... Then i try same
boot but with x64 BootOnly CD (FreeBSD 7.0) - the same Trouble (my CPU is
AMD Athlon 64 3000+).

...OMG, what can i do with my *%&§#g pc? Thank you very mutch.

Try the newset monthly snapshot from FreeBSD 7-stable.See if that helps
at all.
There have been some fixes to the boot loader after 7.0-release was out.
