Lazlo, this is the mobile forum you can search for more info:
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-mobile/

I have a Toshiba Satellite2805-S302. It runs FreeBSD since version 3.x, 
If I am not mistaking versions. I am running 5.3 Stable now, just moved 
from 4.10.

To your question... it can be a checksum error in your recorded CD, 
probably in the ISO image (did you check it before burning?). Try the 
boot version (aprox. 20 Mbytes) or the floppies.

FreeBSD is solid rock of performance compared to Linux,  but I recognise 
(*at this moment*) for some users Linux is a better *Desktop* solution. 
If you go for Linux , you may try Fedora Core 3 (latest).

Take care*

Hi,

I am tryin to install FreeBSD 5.3 on my Toshiba Satellite Laptop.
Every time I boot up from the cd it stops loading at
pci0<ACPI PCI bus> on pcib0

I tryed everything in my bios.I even disable the wirwles card and the 
mouse, unpluged evry extra and still stops.
I tryed boot with ACPI, ACPI disable, Safe Mode.

Same problem.

The same cd does boot correctly on my desktop.

Does anyone could give me Idea what am I doing wrong?
Or if this laptop is not supported.

I appreciate every help

Thank you
Laszlo
