I want to install FreeBSD 5.4 onto a partition on my 1 year old HP laptop. I've done a lot of Linux distro installs, and sometimes I need to give the installer a hint about the graphics card, typically something like: boot: linux vga=771 When I try the FreeBSD installer, the screen goes blank about 5 seconds after it starts booting from the CD, typically at the point where it switches to X Window in a Linux install. Is there a similar hint I can give FreeBSD about the type of graphics to use? What are the syntax and choices? I have googled for this without success. Thanks, Peter
