I have a similar problem. I don't actually get a fatal trap error, but nothing happens at all. I have tried booting with the -c option, typing 'visual' and disabling / configuring hardware I don't have / have. This doesn't help. However, I have noticed that if I disable the keyboard (Input - System console driver) then I do get beyond that point - The install menu appears but of course, I can't use the keyboard. That may sound strange (Disabling the keyboard to get it to work) but I have tried it many times and that is definately the case. I'm also using FreeBSD 2.1 slakware release and my system is: 486DX266 with 16Mg RAM, PCI bus, AHA2940Wide PCI SCSI card - 2Gb Seagate Wide Hawk, 2Gb Capella Fast SCSI 2 and Toshiba XM3401 4x speed SCSI CDROM, Diamond stealth 64 2Mb VRAM, NE2000 compatible e/card. but I'm certain there are no conflicts with the above since it works fine in 95, NT, Linux with no problem
