>Release:        2.2 through 3.0
>Environment:
Can't even get FreeBSD installed.  I have a PS2 mouse, and a PS2 keyboard,
on a Packard Bell Pentium 100.  24m RAM, 1.2 Gig HD, Intergraph REACTOR 
3d graphics card w/ 4m VRAM. VBE 2.0 compliant.
>Description:
When running the installation programs, After changing all of the 
driver options, my keyboard freezes, and will no longer respond.
A Scprobe Failed, line is issued.  If it even gets that far.
The screen corrupts, and the screen font changes to being unreadable.

>How-To-Repeat:
Boot any of the installation floppies.  They all do this, except 2.16,
which just locks the keyboard, and does not corrupt the screen.
>Fix:
Don't know.
>Audit-Trail:
>Unformatted:
