Hi all!
I have been trying to = install=20 FreeBSD 4.2/4.3 on my PC for over a month. No

Let's start with my hardware=20 configuration :

Now, my installation process (If this is not legible on = your=20 screen, please
take a look into the TEXT ATTACHMENT,=20 FreeBSD_saga.txt):

1)Start the Install Process from my = CD-ROM.
2)Start=20 kernel configuration in full screen Visual mode.
