You are installing from a cdrom, I assume. Do you get to the installer menu= ? I have installed i386 Current, amd64 current and amd64 Release on my =20 Acer Aspire 5520-5679 and the only problem that I had was that it =20 could not bring up the installer and after consulting the list found =20 that by pressing the space bar many times it would come up. Once =20 installed all is great. Everything but the Crystal Eye Camara works. If yours seems to be locking up, try the space key. IIRC, press it =20 until it starts to beep, rebelliously. ed > > Does anybody else on the list have the above computer and have they > succeeded in installing FreeBSD on it? > > Any hints or feedback will be greatly appreciated. > > regards, > joseph > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.or= g" >
