Hello, I am trying to install FreeBSD on my new PentiumII PC After I boot the floppy, it identifies all the hardware correctly (the netwok card - 3Com3C905, the HDD - Quantum Fireball ST4.3 ) the screen just goes blank and nothing happens. It should have shown the installation options screen. Also just before the screen goes blank, there was a hard disk access. When the hardware probing was going on, for the network card it says something like "mii : disable autoselect with DOS util". What does this mean. Could this be the problem? Also my HDD is 4110MB and i have partitioned as follows Primary : Win95 : 512M Primary : Linux : 256M Extended : Logical : Linux : 1G Logical : Linux : 512M Logical : Linux : 450M Logical : Linux Swap : 62M Any help would be greatly appreciated. Regards Jose
