The screen stares back at me ominously, like a blue screen of death for over 40 (yes forty) minutes. I pondered this and then asked a friend who has FreeBSD installed. He told me that his went by in two minutes. Distraught, I tried again to no avail. What is going on here, why does FreeBSD freeze at the Probing Hardware screen? >How-To-Repeat: Attempt to install again. >Fix: not known >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
