Greetings,

Recently, I downloaded a copy of FreeBSD (3.0-current). After making the
appropriate boot instaall disk, and booting, I get the kernel
configuration screen. After going through thhat and setting it to my
system (Incidentally, its a generic Pentium motherboard with a Cyric
P-166+ CPU, 16M ram, 2.02G IDE hard drive primary, 1.2G HD secondary HD
with a GoldStar CD-ROM. ATI video card, USR modem, Windows Sound Source
sound card. Adaptec 1522A SCSI controller... Ummm... That about coevers
it..)

Anyway, after I exit the kernal config, the screen goes blank and nothing
happens. Ive tried re-making the boot disk on a differnt disk, and so on,
but I cannot get a response after that pointl.


Any ideas what causes this?
