hi folks.

I've been struggling to get FreeBSD installed on my Compaq Presario
5330US
for the past two weeks.  I've tried just about everything, and I still
get
the following as soon as I attempt to boot:

-------------------------------------------------------------------
int=0000000d  err=00000000  efl=00030202  eip=0000c9c7
eax=00004020  ebx=00000000  ecx=00000200  edx=0000d6af
esi=00000804  edi=00014000  ebp=0000150c  esp=000014da
cs=f000  ds=ed03  es=ed03  fs=0000  gs=0000  ss=0000
cs:eip= 0f 20 dd 81 e5 00 f0 0f - 20 c2 0f 01 e0 a8 01 75
ss:esp= 00 40 01 00 d4 00 00 00 - 0c 15 00 00 fa 14 00 00
BTX halted

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The install works fine (I've tried 4.6 and just downloaded and tried
4.6.2
tonight .. same thing), and System Commander sees the BSD installation
on my
second drive (I've also tried BSD's boot manager to no avail).

I have an 80 GB IDE drive (master) that has Windows XP on it, and I'm
installing FreeBSD on the slave IDE drive, which is a 40 GB Western
Digital.
During installation, I tell FreeBSD to use the entire second drive, and
set
up the slices by using "Automatic" mode.

Anyone have any ideas or thoughts on places for me to look for answers
to this question?   I've searched google for days on "BTX halted", and
have seen a lot of messages where people have been having the same
problem; unfortunately what I haven't found yet is a solution to the
problem.

thanks!
  Keith
