Please try booting with FreeBSD 4.11 and let us know if it works or not. (just download a boot floppy and use that) Also, it is probably hanging at whatever would probe up AFTER keyboard detection, not the keyboard detection. Be aware also that the Compaq 1600's are a bit odd in that they have a partial USB chipset on the motherboard. It is detected as a USB device - but althought the chip exists, a USB buss is not, in fact, connected to it. There is a setting in many Linux distros to disable USB probing at the installation boot to get around this, that is documented somewhere.
