I am trying to install FReeBSD 5 on an inspiron 2500.  Everytime I try to
install it hangs after loading the kernel.  I have looked into it and it seems
that there is a problem with the default kernel and the devices on the laptop
(sound card I believe)...  

How can I go about installing FreeBSD???
