I have version 4.6 and 4.8 of FreeBSD and I am having trouble getting pass a certain point. This is the procedure I have followed form The FreeBSD Handbook, 3rd Edition, Volume I: User Guide Edited by Murray Stokely and Chern Lee.
 
I boot for the CD and start form Start kernel configuration in full-screen visual mode.
 
Then Press X
 
Then delete:
 
Advansys SCSI narrow controller
 
Adaptec 154 X SCSI controller
 
Adaptec 152 X SCSI and computable sound card
 
Buslogic SCSI controller
 
Then press Q 
 
Save these parameters before exiting YES
 
While loading the sysinstall it freezes up when it reaches sio0: type 8250.
 
The book shows type 16550A
 
The computer I am trying to install FreeBSD on is an AMD 700 Mhz maching with 512 K of memory. Nothing else on the hard drive. It will be a stand a lone computer once I get FreeBSD installed.
 
Any help you can give me will be greatly appreciated.
 
Best Regards,  Joe
