Hello.

I have to install a FreeBSD system on a PCI Pentium/133, 32 Mbyte RAM, 
HD 1.2 Gbyte and a Hitachi CD-ROM ATAPI.
The motherboard is GMB-P55IPS a 4-layer, 2/3 baby AT size 
hig-performance mainboard.
It includes Intel 82430HX system chipset, Winbond W83877 Super I/O 
controller.

The release that I have installad is 2.1.5-stable (from mirror
www.se.FreeBSD.org at August 6 1996).

The problem is the initial check of PCI equipement. About 50% times
at boot, and I think always when I run

shutdown -r now

the system begin the PCI hardware probe and then hang. The screen black
and I must turn off it.

When start and hang the initial hardware test show:


FreeBSD 2.1.5-RELEASE #0: Thu Aug  8 17:01:59 MET DST 1996
    root@prometeo.it:/usr/src/sys/compile/PROM586b
CPU: 133-MHz Pentium 735\\90 or 815\\100 (Pentium-class CPU)
  Origin = "GenuineIntel"  Id = 0x52c  Stepping=12
  Features=0x1bf<FPU,VME,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,MCE,CX8>
real memory  = 33554432 (32768K bytes)
avail memory = 30699520 (29980K bytes)
Probing for devices on PCI bus 0:


when it correctly start it show:
