Description Aleksandr Dubel 2008-02-11 15:30:01 UTC

When I am trying to boot from CD, I receive error: "No bios smap info from loader". Dc7600 has Pentium4 3.2 GHz, DC 7700 has Intel Core 2 Duo.  I want to help to solve that problem. I have that kind of desktops, I have some free time and I have some experience in FreeBSD. I can do tests to fix that problem if needed. But I dont know what to test. 
P.S. I think that problem is in file bios.c., system cant receive  correct CPUID information from that file, but maybe I am wrong.

How-To-Repeat: Just boot from amd64 CD on HP decktop

Bah, GNATS accepted an empty why message which is bogus.  This is a duplicate 
of amd64/111955.  See the followups there for more details.
