While trying to install FreeBSD-13.0-RELEASE-i386 in my hp mini 110-1030NR it got stuck at "Autoloading module: if_bwn". any solution? coz' I'd like to do a quick hw-probe to check and submit my specs to https://bsd-hardware.info/

Try:
- Boot the USB installer media into single user mode
- mount the file system read write: mount -urw /
- rename ( mv(1) ) /boot/kernel/if_bwn.ko to disable it
- continue booting into multi user: exit

I haven't tried it myself, but it should work. When in single user mode only the kernel, no other modules are loaded, check with kldstat(8).

While the file system is in read/write state, to submit hardware specs to https://bsd-hardware.info sysutils/hw-probe can be installed on the USB installer media (after defining a name server and acquiring an IP address).

Hi, I have the same problem too, but I am lost as what to do after mounting the system as read/write. I am a new FreeBSD user and I am trying to learn how it works. I am using an hp mini 311 netbook. When you say to rename what exactly do I have to rename and what command do I use? I typed in
Code: 
rename mv /boot/kernel/if_bwn.ko
but I got an error message.

from reading the manual it seems that mv and rename share the same function but I probably did something wrong.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Sorry for the late reply.

By renaming the file I meant to use mv(1)
Code: 
DESCRIPTION
     In its first form, the mv utility renames the file named by the source
     operand to the destination path named by the target operand.
Code: 
mv   /boot/kernel/if_bwn.ko   /boot/kernel/if_bwn.ko.old

Thanks very much, it works and I got through to the installer.
