I am doing a floppy install of FreeBSD on a 486 DX2 66 computer.
I have one Western Digital Cavier 2340 hard drive, a 3½" and 5¼"
floppy drive, a Stealth Diamond 64 VLB 2 meg video card and a
generic Hayes compatible 14.4k modem.

The HD Controller is built in on the motherboard and MSD says
it using IRQ14. Okay, cool I start the install from floppy disk and
get the the Kernel Configuration menu. I choose visual mode. 
Since I have no SCSI drives I deactivate everything except the 
floppy disk controller on IRQ6 and the IDE/ESDI/MFM disk 
controller on IRQ14. I deactivate all network cards and the 
MS Bus Mouse. I then press Q and Y to save the settings.
A few things are displayed on the screen but then disappear
to fast for me to see what got found. Anyway, I make it to the 
Welcome to FreeBSD [2.2.5-Release] menu. I then choose 
Begin a Novice installation. But two screens later I am 
presented with the following message:

Drives not found. Please verify that your disk controller is being
properly probed at boot time...

Since the screen scrolls by too fast, is there a way I can
pause to see what exactly it is finding? Any other ideas?
