I am trying to install FreeBSD onto a PC running an Athlon 600 with 128Mb RAM, 3dfx Voodoo3 3000, 13Gb IDE etc. I have used both the FreeBSD 3.2 and 4.0 CDs from Walnut Creek, and also created the 2 disk boot set from the CD. I have tried a 4Mb Matrox AGP card instead of the Voodoo3, a different 128Mb stick of RAM and a different HD. On either 3.2 or 4.0 I see /boot.config: -P Keyboard: no BTX loader 1.00 BTX version is 1.01 At which point the machine locks solid - caps lock won't even work. I have tried the same CDs in a Celeron 500 and they boot perfectly. Is there a known problem with FreeBSD and Athlon processors? I have heard that some people have had trouble with K6's - the machine will run Win98, WinNT or Win2000 perfectly. Any ideas would be gratefully received.
