I gave a friend my old 2.1.5 CDs to play with to see if FreeBSD
would come up on his old hardware.  He's got an AST 486 system with
an IDE hard drive and a SCSI CDROM drive.  He boots up on the floppy
and gets to the color screen that gives him the menu for choosing
what type of installation to do and it locks up right there.  
Any clues?
