Did your PC vendor bundle a 4.0 CD with the hardware ? Why else so old ?! 4.0 is old & being first in series, intrinsicly more problematic & `first cut/rough cut' than a .1 or .2 etc. You won't so easily interest people in helping you with this or subsequent 4.0 based problems. Reccomendation: Buy 4.3 from EG http://www.freebsdmall.com or download the install CD free from ftp.freebsd.org or at least borrow a 4.1 or 4.2 or 4.3 CD from someone.
