For the first time install, you should remove all hardware not necessary for
a simple basic system.
In your case remove the sound card, cd-rw drive, videocard, and any other
hardware to get to a simple basic system.
After the install add one piece back at a time.

Subject: Installation of FreeBSD 4.6 failure

Hi,

I would like to try FreeBSD, I'm trying to install the 4.6 version but to no
avail. The installation process with the CD only goes as far as the first
screen of sysinstall and then the whole computer locks-up hard, no error
messages, and I have to reboot.

I have the following hardware:
Matrox G400 videocard
Seagate ST33232A H/D
Gigabyte GA-6VXE7 with a VIA 82C596B chipset
Intel Pentium 3 CPU
Creative CD-RW RW3260E
Soundblaster 16 soundcard (isa)
256 MB sdram

I'm using Linux RedHat at the moment without any problems.

I have searched everywhere for any clues on this problem without any luck.

Thanks in advance for any help.

John Heij
