>Description:
I downloaded the FreeBSD 4.3 ISO, burnt it, popped in the CD and booted from it, configured my kernel, and then I get the Probing Devices, Please Wait screen.  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:
