I'm trying an installation of freebsd on a machine of mine, and everytime
I try (off of either the bootdisks, or the cd-rom), it locks at the same
part..

----<snip>----
Boot from ATAPI CD-ROM:
  1. FD 2.88MB System Type-(00)
/boot.config: -P
Keyboard: no
-
BTX Loader 1.00 BTX Version is 1.01
----</snip>----

it just freezes there and wont go any farther.. here's a quick rundown of
my machine.. also, i've tried swapping the cards with ones that are in my
working freebsd box, and i get the same problem..

---<config>---
pII 350 intel
128mb ram
western digital IDE hdd (also tried with maxtor and fujitsu)
AMD PCNet NIC (also tried 3com nic)
Diamond Fire GL100 Pro AGP (also tried Matrox Mystique from working fbsd,
                            pci card)
Award 4.51PG BIOS
SOYO SY-6BE Motherboard (nothing integrated)
Toshiba 24x internal IDE CDROM XM 600-2B
---</config>---

I'm doing the FreeBSD 3.4-STABLE install.. do you have any insights as to
what the problem/solution might be?

Thanks,
Nick Stephens
