John, please, provide:


FBSD version

All HW you have in your computer and they addresses/IRQs if you have
them.

Any other interesting info you may have about your computer.


you may choose make a test removing some not needed pieces of hW like
sound card, modem, etc, just to see if installation runs.


Another hint:


Make a DOS boot disk with devices for CD-ROM access, and run the install
from the CD. Just a guess. Make sure your CD rom is set as Slave. PPL say
it is not necessary anymore, but I've seen ppl having problems with it.
