There are problems leading to instant boot panic on some machines. FreeBSD suffers from this problem whereas OpenBSD and Linux kernels does not. I would like to see a possibility to se a text either in the bootloader, the CLI or the visualconfig about such problems and how they might be worked around using proper "set" directives. (A better alternative would be to make the proper change in the kernel and make the problem go away.) For example: use: "set hw.pcic.intr_path=1" if your laptop hangs with a kernel panic due to hard-routed irq. How-To-Repeat: Boot the FreeBSD-4.10 CD on my laptop, a "BEST8950".
