Hi,

I am having problems booting FreeBSD 4.3 on my Pentium MMX 166
This is a first for me, I am perfectly newbie with FreeBSD.

I did the installation from ftp and everything went smoothly.
I installed the "User" distribution set (no X).

When I try to boot the freshly installed system, the computer freezes
right after the following lines:

Automatic boot in progress...
/dev/ad0s1a: FILESYSTEM CLEAN; SKIPPING CHECKS
/dev/ad0s1a: clean, 70339 free (627 frags, 8714 blocks, 0.6% fragmentation)

There is nothing else happening, ctrl-alt-delete won't even work, I have to
power-off the machine to restart.

Any help will be appreciated.

Here's my config

Pentium MMX 166
AOpen AP57 motherboard (freshly updated BIOS)
48MB ram
ATI MACH 64 Video card (PCI)
D-LINK DFE-530TX 10/100 network adapter (PCI)
Acer CD-ROM 24x (ATAPI)
Disk1 (ad0): Quantum fireball ST1.6A (IDE)
Disk2 (ad2): Quantum fireball 6.4A (IDE)


Here's what I see when boot in config mod (visual):
