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.. | | Thank you, | | Travis Troyer | | | | To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org | with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGPfreeware 6.5.8 for non-commercial use <http://www.pgp.com>; iQA/AwUBOeSAcaQ0pAI9Fl/WEQKuFgCgsjnOC8yHjWn290LhTDGMewRiaIMAmwZB wyYZVvurAIhUVfTWO1oxyS/A =nSbJ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
