Hello, I have been trying to get FreeBSD installed onto my TP755C. I have looked through dejanews and I cannot seem to find any references to my particular problem. I have been trying to install using boot-pao.flp versions 2.2.7 and 2.2.8. Unfortunately, the laptop wants to lockup all of the time. I have shut off all of the unneeded devices in the laptop setup to include the serial ports and the parallel port. I have also removed all of the conflicts in the visual setup mode. When I attempt to save the configuration, the laptop locks up and places the cursor in the upper right hand corner of the screen. If I attempt to bypass the visual setup screen and boot right into the install, it also locks up. Hardware: IBM ThinkPad 755C - 486dx4 75 12mb RAM Toshiba 2gig IDE drive 3.5" floppy LinkSys Ether Fast 10/100 pcmcia NIC The BIOS on this machine has been updated with the latest version available from IBM, and the HD is brand new. I had installed DRDOS 7.02, so I can only assume the machine is in a useable state. If you can enlighten me further, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thank You, Mike DuFresne -- In the immortal words of Socrates, who said: 'I drank what?' C.
