The FreeBSD installer cannot boot at all, and it ends up with BTX halted before loading kernel. Perhaps, it occurs during boot2 or loader. However, I cannot look at output messages due to endless loop of output. So, I cannot identify where it is actually. I tried CD-ROM of 5.4-RELEASE, 5.3-RELEASE, 5.2-RELEASE, 4.11-RELEASE and 6.0-CURRENT-SNAP004-i386-disc1.iso. I also tried boot.flp of 5.4-RELEASE. I tried several combination of available BIOS settings without any success. The installer of NetBSD 2.0.2 can boot just fine, though. I'm embarrassed. How can I install FreeBSD into my new laptop?
