Greetings,

I have been trying to install FreeBSD 4.5 from CD for a few weeks now to no
avail.  The installation locks up when the hardware probe begins.  I have
tried all of the kernel configurations I can think of in the full screen
visual mode during the boot process.  I have tried disabling averything
except sc0 and ata0 and ata1 for my Promise Ultra66 controller card.  I have
a Quantum Fireball plugged into the master slot 1 of the Promise card and a
Western Digital into the master of the second slot in the Promise card.  I
also have my CD-RW plugged into on-board chip as master on the first slot.
Can anyone help me get past this?  I've had trouble in the past with this in
Linux - the workaround was to send ide2=noautotune as a kernel parameter (if
that helps anything).

Thanks in advance,

Greg

Here is my verbose boot log (please forgive any typos, I copied it onto
paper, then typed that up) - I can't seem to get up any higher using scroll
lock before it locks up and starts beeping at me:
