I'm trying to install FreeBSD on a 386 with 8MB of RAM and a 258MB 
hard drive.  When I get to the partitioning part of the installation, 
the computer locks up, or takes forever (let it run for about 8 
hours).  There is a 3COM 10BaseT ethernet card, vga video and an IDE 
controler card.

What is wrong?

How can I make it work?


Thanks

P.S. I looked in the FAQ and the Handbook, and didn't see any answers
