Hello,
I am trying to install FreeBSD 2.2.1 on a system that has a
Diamond
Speedstar 64 ISA video card in it. During the install process (for the
walnut creek CD - using either the install program or the boot floppy)
just after it says "booting kernel" the screen scrambles (the text is
very distorted). When I tried installing with a different (VGA) video
card in it worked fine. Is there any way to install FreeBSD with my
current video card? My computer "specs" are below - if they are useful.
Intel Pentium 133 processor
ASUS Motherboard (Intel Chipset)
Samsung 17Gli Monitor
Samsung 8X CD-Rom
Soundblaster 32 PnP
Award Bios
64 Mb RAM
1.5GB Western Digital Hard drive, 600 Mb Seagate Hard drive
Windows '95 is install on the 1.5 GB drive - I am trying to
install
FreeBSD on the 600 MB drive.
Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Anthony Akens
