I encounter a problem when trying to install freeBSD by ftp from 
floppy on the following platform:

   Pentium CPU
   1540CP/1542CP SCSI controller
   ATI Mach 32 video adaptor
   NE2000 Ethernet Adapter (Acer ALN-101 PnP)

The only drivers I am enabling during kernel configuration are:

   fdc0
   aha0  330,11 
   ed0   300,5

I do not enable sio0-3, as the Mach 32 seems to be located at
the same address as the Mach 64 and one of your FAQs mentions
a conflict with COM4 and that card. Originally, I enabled mse0, 
but disabling it hasn't improved matters any.

My problem is that once these drivers are configured and I leave the
configuration screen, the screen goes blank, save for what appears to
be a large cursor at the upper left corner of the screen. If I wait a
few seconds, my machine reboots and I'm back to square one. On the 
other hand, if I use the default configuration I experience a whole
pile of conflicts, but I do successfully reach the installation screen!

If you could help me in any way, I really would appreciate it!
