When I boot from FreeBSD boot disks above version 2.1.0 this problem occours:

Boot prompt, and the usual stuff works as it should.

Hardware check works ok.

When the message 'running sysinstall as init' is displayed the screen goes all
black. And nothing more happens.. :( However it doesn't halt. So I can do a
"scrollback" and see the hardware check results.

Is there anyway to fix this ..?
