I downloaded the floppy image so I could install bsd on a 486sx25 with 4MB RAM. After booting with the disk, the install came to the hardware detection. After disabling all of the hardware I know I don't have, and selecting Q for "Save and Quit", all of my devices get probed, then I get a blank screen with a block cursor in the lower left hand corner of the screen, and the system stops. It doesn't respond to keyboard commands, nor is it doing much of anything at all, except collecting dust (it seems to enjoy this activity). Am I doing something wrong? Does FreeBSD just not like my computer? I also tried to install Linux on it, wich was a no go also. Should I try a different computer? I would love any help you can give me.
