I have tried several ways to install FreeBSD version 6.0 and all bomb= the same way. What happens is that I first get a message =93Building the boot loader a= rguments=94 on one line, and shortly afterwards the message =93Relocatin= g the loader and the BTX=94 on another line. After a delay of about 11 = minutes, a third line appears containing the message =93Starting the BTX= loader=94. I let the system run for about an hour and a half but no mo= re messages appeared, nor did the computer indicate that the installatio= n had completed. The only thing in my machine that I think could be =93not working=94 wi= th the installation program is my BIOS . Here is all the information I= have about my BIOS . It names itself as =93Energy Star Ally=94 writ= ten by Award Software Inc. and that it is an =93Award Modular BIOS=94 wi= th =93Award Plug & Play BIOS extension v1.0A=94. Its ID is v4.6OPGMA (= the character between the "6" & the "P" is a vertical ellipse with a dot= at its center, it is either zero or oh ).
