I am a complete newbie at FreeBSD, trying to install on an IBM Aptiva, with a P166 w/MMX and 48MB of RAM. I have downloaded the FreeBSD ISO, and burned it to a CD, and have made the two boot disks for installation. The CD did not boot itself, so I fir t booted with the Kernel disk, which then asked for the msf root disk. From here, I choose Visual Setup, and setup my hardware options. When I continued setup, it gave me the dialog, "Probing Devices, this may take a moment," or something similar. At this point, the installation seems to lock. I have let it go for about 20 minutes and it does nothing. Is this a hardware issue, that FreeBSD will not support my hardware, or am I doing something wrong? I hope I don't get nailed to much on this for being a newbie, as I've heard this is common in with freebsd :) If you need anymore specifications on my hardware, just let me know..
