i recently purchased the FreeBSD 2.1.5-RELEASE from Walnut Creek.  i have been 
unable to install FreeBSD due to the fact that both the install from DOS 
partition and install from floppy options do not seem to work.  The problem is 
that when installing the devices from boot, the system stops right after 
installing the npx0 driver.  it confirms the "npx0: INT 16" message, but 
completely stops after that.  i have tried using the custom configuration at 
boot to disable hardware not in use by my machine, but that did not help.  i 
would appreciate some insight on the nature of this problem as i am anxious to 
install FreeBSD on my machine.  Thank you for your time and consideration.
