I am trying to install FreeBSD 6 on a Toshiba Sat. Pro 445CDX laptop
with no floppy drive. This laptop has a pentium processor and 16MB of
ram. When I boot to the installation cd, I get the register dump and
BTX halted message, and the screen then goes blank but the power stays
on. I have disabled as much as possible in the BIOS, including EIDE,
but nothing changes.

Is there any way to get BSD to install without using the BTX loader on the =
CD?

Thanks
