Nope; I can't figure it out either. My craptop is a Gagway, and throws all kinds of erroror messages, depending on the version of FBSD I use. Oddly, Fedora and NetBSD install just fine on the Gagway. X works with both, smooth as silk. Sound under Fedora; never tried it with NetBSD. > The version of FreeBSD I'm trying to install is 5.0. Would creating > a newer install CD solve this problem? I would go to a newer 5.x, if nothing else. I did notice that the error messages decreased in a later 5.x than yours. No joy; but it was a step in the right direction. > The drive I'm trying to install to is a Toshiba MK8025GAS, 2.5" notebook > drive.
