Begin by describing what you see during the entire boot process, and quoting the last few lines you see. FreeBSD bootstrapping is a many-stages process, and saying that it freezes doesn't give us the slightest clue on what is freezing. Second, describe your hardware. "Pentium 233MX" is *not* enough. Disk controllers, disks, ram memory, motherboard, chipset, everything you can provide. Usually, the problem is located in the one piece of information omitted. -- Daniel C.
