Sorry, no answer, just a me-too! I finally got FBSD to install (made a DOS partition and it figured out the disk geometry). It booted exactly TWO times. The third time it went past the FBSD initial boot screen (not sure what it is called.... where there is the bold something or another at the bottom with some URL.... that's probably not helpful). Anyway, when it tried to go to the next screen it totally locked up with ASCII characters all over the place.... I could piece together some words (don't remember what they were) but the screen was covered in characters. I couldn't even reboot (even the reset button) I had to power down and then back up again. It also came up with something like: Can't load de0: cable problem? The two times it *did* boot.... Did that mean that it couldn't find my Ethernet *card* or couldn't make any connection? Thanks TjL
