  Actually, I have tried to take out 8megs worth, leaving 32megs.  I
received the same message, only the address of the error was different.
The debug for the "Probing devices" screen says:

		wfd0: Sense the media type is failed

At this point in time, I am all but ready to call it quits, and wait till
I can get a new computer to install FreeBSD.		

Thanks for the info,
Dan
