Ive tried 4.7, 4.8, 5.0 and 5.1R ( and maybe more earlier )...System is

ABIT BG-7 MB, 512M RAM, P4 CPU 2.26 GHz, onboard realtec lan, onboard =
sound, 6 USB, no firewire
internal graphics is disabled, 2 serial, 1 parallel port
MSI GF4 4200 video, 64 MB RAM
PCI hardware modem

NO ISA slots ( and no ISA boards ! )

During boot-up, no driver is attached to internal vga, SMBus or =
Multimedia - these are all recognized, and it says no driver is =
attached.

I have a USB keyboard and have tried setting hint.atkbd.0.disabled=3D"1" =
and have gone thru the other hints, disabling
all hardware that isnt in machine ( and isnt already disabled ).

Am able to run redhat linux, at least to the point of partitioning it, =
and have installed NETBSD (1.6.1) with success....

Have been "loyal" to freebsd for quite a while, am frustrated by =
inability to install on this machine

HELP !

Dave
