I am trying to dualboot it with Windows XP but I dont think thats a problem because I installed it on my home computer without any problems ( also dualbooted and the same FreeBSD cd ). After searching though the mailing list archives I tried the following: At the boot prompt of the FreeBSD cd I went into the loader prompt and did typed the following "set hw.ata.atapi_dma="0"" after that I typed "boot" to continue booting up the installation. Yet it still hangs at the same point. I was hoping someone could help me getting it to boot so I can install it on my laptop. Thanks in advance, Roeland
