So it WAS my ATI Mach64 that was causing the blanking of the screen.  So 
I disabled si0-3 and it installed.  But as James Raynard told me, there 
is a bug in the 2.1 boot installation and it didn't boot correctly.  So I 
manually installed boot.bin and that worked too.  However, when I chose 
FreeBSD it gave me a
	panic: cannot mount root
or something to that extent.  What now?

By the way, when I boot it gives me the same boot screen as when i did 
from the floppy to install it and I have to use the -c option again to 
disable everything again.  Do I have to do that everytime I boot? I 
certainly hope not.
