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 Peter da Silva wrote: > > I'm not sure.
