Argh. I didn't see anything in the mailing list archives or FAQs which addresses this, so here goes... I'm trying to install 3.2-RELEASE on a ThinkPad 600E (128Mb RAM, DVD ROM, 10Gb HD, etc.), but the installation kernel just hangs. Once it hung in the middle of the device configuration (the boot -c thing) screen, but after that it's consistently locking up the system immediately *after* exiting the config screen. I've tried disabling all devices except the IDE controller, floppy, mouse and keyboard, even tried unplugging the DVD drive, but it always locks up right there. The last thing displayed on-screen is the list of device probes, the last being "Probing for PnP devices...", but I don't know if that was spewed to the console before or after launching into the configuration tool. I know others have said they've got FreeBSD running on ThinkPads. Is this a 3.2 issue, or is there still some special magic I need to do to get a ThinkPad running FreeBSD?
