Hi Stefan, This is highly amazinngggg !!!! I have never heard anything like this. I am assuming that you used all the normal procedures for the installation of FreeBSD. For instance, you removed the IRQ conflicts, set the partitions properly, entered correct values for your monitor, etc. But 3 in a row !!!!! Where did you buy the CDROM from. It appears that probably the CDROM has a bug, the contrary ( all the motherboards were incompatible with BSD, if there is anything like that unknown to man ), is highly highly unlikely, Check he CDROM, perhaps the root of the problem lies there. BEst wishes. >From: Stefan Boy <ohahx@hotmail.com> >To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG >Subject: Hardware destroyd. Any clues ? >Date: Wed, 30 Jun 1999 13:37:55 PDT > >Hi > >My name is Stefan.
