Hi,

I'm not sure where to post this, I tried freebsd-questions, but didn't get
any responses.

When trying to boot the system, with to to installation floppies, it
enters an infinite loop with the following output:

** snip snip **
atkbdc0: <keyboard controller (i8042)> at port 0x60-0x6f on isa0

** snip snip **

It's the to latter sections (starting with "(no periph..") that keeps
repeating itself forever.

Can someone help me to solve this problem? Is it a hardware detection
problem? What is a 'sym0' device?

Thank you.

Best regards
Rasmus
