Hi, guys.

Are there a way (again) to install FreeBSD without "Probbing devices". If I
can install Linux.

My machine have memory problems, I know...,  but I suscessufull installed
Linux Slackware yesterday, the only exception is the RAMDISK, cause I have
to deal with many "bus errors". And yesterday, I compilled Kernel, X and my
IceWM Window Manager without problems, just are all in the HD

Are there a way to pass an argument or parameter to FreeBSD install program
don't start this screen and test my devices.

Please!!! Please !!!, Help me

Case there are no way, so, someone knows a tool outside of FreeBSD, be
possible to create the FreeBSD slices, cause the Partition is so easy, I
can create it with the Linux Fdisk, is easy, enough only for put the type
of BSD/386.

But the slices, the things stay one more hard to create.

Cause, I can get the newfs from the source distribution, compile it to
Linux, and create the UFS filesystem into Linux.

and I can also simply mount the slices, get my Distribution CD, and unpack
all the bin.aa, bin.ab, etc.. under the FreeBSD filesystem.
