I'm attempting to install FreeBSD 2.2.1 on an 80386.  Unfortunately, the
install program freezes completely as soon as it reaches the main
installation menu (the first color screen).  The machine works perfectly
as a DOS box, and there's no extra hardware to cause problems.

Actual hardware specs:
 -80386 DX-33 w/80387, 4Mb
 -AMI Bios (319-1, 1990)
 -Conner CFS540A IDE
 -Paradise/Western Digital VGA (WD90C10)
 -Generic multi-IO card - heritage doubtful, but the big chips are
marked "Winbond".

I'm pretty much lost.  Any helpful ideas?
