Hi, Sorry, I couldn't find anything helpful in various faqs or mailing lists. My problem is: I'm trying to install FreeBSD 2.2.8 on IBM ThinkPad 600 (128MB memory, 6.5 GB disk), I've tried with a boot floppy and a boot CD-ROM, I've tried with different user configurations (removing almost all devices from the lists, leaving all there and something in between) but the result is always the same, the machine gives four beeps and then freezes completely. This usually happens when it has reached the first colourful installation dialog. I tried installing Linux and incidentally when the Redhat script asked whether I needed any PCMCIA cards during installation, when I accidentally responded 'yes' it froze in similar fashion as the FreeBSD installation. After reboot Linux would install normally when I told not to look for PCMCIA cards. The FreeBSD 3.0 installation was no different to 2.2.8 in the way how it froze. Any advice available? thanks, Jussi-Pekka Sairanen To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
