>Description:
Upon attempting the installation of FreeBSD 5.3 the system hangs durring the boot up. Right after the boot loader screen the system freezes and becomes completely non-responsize. I have tried to boot the system using all the options but the same thing happens. This happens right after I select anything besides reboot. It appears to hang upon trying to load the kernel. I have had FreeBSD 4.9 and 4.10 installed and working correctly the problem just happens on the 5.x series. I have tried to do a source upgrade but still the system freezes.
>How-To-Repeat:
Attempt installing the 5.x series on a similar laptop/
