Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk Hello! I just purchases FreeBSD 2.2.5 and I'm having very many problems trying to install it on my machine. I have resorted to the Hardware.txt file many times, and tried everything it suggests, but nothing I do seems to work. The problem is that every time the hardware probe runs, my system seems to freeze up (blank screen with cursor on the bottom left). I have tried everything the help file says...I do have a 3com Ethernet card 3c509 and Did what the help file said. I have done everything I can to try to get this probe not to freeze, but it does regardless what I do. Am I missing something? Is something defective with my CD? Help! Brian Kramer Virginia Tech
