I'm writing you today because for about a week now I'm trying to install FreeBSD on my system.I am installing it from a recent cd-rom media edition 2.2.2 release.Ok lets start off with the problem.When I boot from only my cd-rom to enter the installation stage everything starts out fine.It boots up successfully my kernel and bringing me to the next step that is the kernel configuration table.From there I have 3 choices to make so I always chose the visual mode for kernel entry modifications.Next I arrive at another screen that is my userconfig table and theres my big problem.At the top of the screen it tells me that I have 23 conflicts which means that my devices are conflicting with one another.Now my only choice I have in order to fix the problem is to reconfigure every device to avoid conflicts.So what I did was to disable any drivers in the active range of the list that wasn't present in my system and altering the drivers parameters in the editor table.After I pressed the q key to save the parameters and exit.After I was presented with a type of menu describing the type of installation I wanted.I chose the novice installation as recommended not to lose important things during setup.Now I have a dialog box telling me that my system has been installed with errors and I should go trough the debugging process of VTY1 which I don't have a clue of what that means.Then I rebooted my system for startup.I also need to mention that at some point during the installation I encountered 2 panic incidents that forced my system to shutdown.The 2 panic strings that were caught was a signal 10 and 11.I hope I gave you all the details needed to resolve the problem and if you need more details or info please feel free to let me know.Thank you for your time and understanding. Best Regards. Mark
