sometimes in the moment i power on... he does that short sound (i'll try to
record it :) and then boots. recently i noticed sometimes does not. but no
idea what does it mean (oh, sorry my bad english... i've been frequenting
only-italian ML for too long :/

let me understand: 7.5.3 can be downloaded for free, but it's not really
free ¹ (like GIFs?). Instead 7.1 can be used without any problem?

well... i'd try that... but netbsd took more than 4 hours to install...
could i copy it somewhere and then copy it to the hard disk? would this
work?

¹ i do not mean "free software", obviously :)
