I have someone with the following configuration:

Shuttle AI61 Motherboard (AMD 751 chipset)
AMD Athlon T-bird 900 MHz
512 MB PC133 PNY Memory

He's been able to install Windows 95 and run it with no problems, but
FreeBSD's Sysinstall chokes.

At random points during the install (before the main menu, while
extracting distributions, etc), Sysinstall segfaults/signal
11's, or panics and reboots.

It seems definitely like a hardware problem with such awkward behavior,
but what exactly it is, I don't know.

He's tried two different CDROM drives.

Any of you experienced any similar problems with this particular
motherboard/configuration?

Thanks.
