Hello,
	I am trying to install FreeBSD 2.2.1 from a walnut creek CD-ROM onto my
PC.  I am currently running windows '95 and trying to set up the
computer to run both operating systems.  I have windows '95 running on a
1.5 GB hard drive, and have another 600 MB hard drive onto which I plan
to install FreeBSD.  I'm planning on placing the boot manager on the 1.5
GB drive.
	When I begin the install (either from the install.bat file on the CD,
or from the boot disk made with makeflp.bat) the screen "scrambles" just
after it says "booting kernel".  By scrambles I mean that the black &
white text distorts for a short time, then the entire screen is filled
with random (stationary) patterns of scrambled text.
	By switching in an old VGA card for my current one I was able to see
the menu screen that should have been appearing at that point in the
installation process.
	The video card I am trying to use is a Diamond Speedstar 64 ISA card
with one MB of RAM (possibly 2, I forget).  There are 2 jumpers on the
card - one for the 0 wait state, and one for IRQ 2.  I have tried
removing both - in every combination, but to no avail.
	My monitor is a Samsung SyncMaster 17Gli (17" SVGA).
	My motherboard is made By ASUS.  My processor is a Pentium 133 (intel)
and the chipset is all intel.
	If there is a way to fix this short of buying a new video card (or only
using VGA) please let me know.
	If you need more information, please e-mail me.

	Thank you,
		Anthony Akens
