I really hate to bother you -  maybe it's something simple.

I'm loading FreeBSD 4.5 from a CD obatined from a Sam's Unleashed 
publication "FreeBSD Unleashed", authors Michael Urban and Brian Tiemann.

This all takes place during configuration after selecting the mouse, 
keyboard, graphics card and screen size.

I:                   click on "done"

Screen:              Attempting to start server

then screen:         Unable to start X server
                     Press enter to reconfigure

I:                   press enter

Screen displays:     very large X in middle of scree on a background
                     of large white dots.

I:                   ctl-alt-bkspc

screen displays msg: the Free86 configuration process
                     seems to have failed. Would you like
                     to try again?
