I don't know if it is the same problem (it certainly sounds similar).

This is not a laptop though. Nor is it an old machine (less than 3 years old).

Anyway, I have booted DragonFly from the live CD and logged in as root.

But what device name do I use (I only have one disk)? Everything I
guessed at, it says "device not configured".
