ASUS TXP4, Pentium II 166MHz 160MB memory
System: FreeBSD 4.5-RELEASE GENERIC boot floppies


	
>Description:
	
I have been running FreeBSD 3.4 (plus KAME IPv6 stack) on my machine
with no problems.  However, no version of the system since 4.0 has
been runnable on the hardware.  When I boot up with the FreeBSD 4.5
install diskettes in verbose mode, it lets me run configuration with
no problems, and it probes the PCI bus without difficulty, but stops
after the message "ex_isa_identify()" and won't respond to anything
other than the reset button.  My hardware includes:

ASUS TXP4 motherboard
Intel Pentium II 166 MHz
160MB SDRAM (128MB + 32MB)
Generic NE2000 ISA network card
Boca 6-port serial board
NCR PCI SCSI card (no boot ROM)
Generic PCI VGA display controller
3Com 3C509 PCI network card

What should I do next?
