G'day:
I've tried doing FTP installs of FreeBSD 4.1 and 4.1.1 from both a local mirror, and one of the freebsd.org sites as well (ftp3, IIRC). The machine is an IBM Thinkpad A20m (2628-14U) - Celeron 500, 6.0GB, 64MB (upgraded to 128MB). I've read some stories about IBM A and T series laptops on this list, but it doesn't seem related... other than FreeBSD combined with this machine seems to generally be cursed. :-)
I lease the laptop from the University I attend, so any hardware problems would have to go through them... and I don't relish asking them for new RAM because an operating system they don't officially support won't install on this machine.
I know some people have installed FreeBSD successfully on an identically configured A20m. Thoughts or suggestions?
Thanks,
