I am doing a floppy install of FreeBSD on a 486 DX2 66 computer. I have one Western Digital Cavier 2340 hard drive, a 3½" and 5¼" floppy drive, a Stealth Diamond 64 VLB 2 meg video card and a generic Hayes compatible 14.4k modem. The HD Controller is built in on the motherboard and MSD says it using IRQ14. Okay, cool I start the install from floppy disk and get the the Kernel Configuration menu. I choose visual mode. Since I have no SCSI drives I deactivate everything except the floppy disk controller on IRQ6 and the IDE/ESDI/MFM disk controller on IRQ14. I deactivate all network cards and the MS Bus Mouse. I then press Q and Y to save the settings. A few things are displayed on the screen but then disappear to fast for me to see what got found. Anyway, I make it to the Welcome to FreeBSD [2.2.5-Release] menu. I then choose Begin a Novice installation. But two screens later I am presented with the following message: Drives not found. Please verify that your disk controller is being properly probed at boot time... Since the screen scrolls by too fast, is there a way I can pause to see what exactly it is finding? Any other ideas?
