Subject:   Question about installing FreeBSD 2.2.6
Message-ID:  <368090D8.BC3E02FD@postoffice.pacbell.net>
index | next in thread | raw e-mail 

Dear Sir:

I have a Dell Dimension XPS P100. It contains following components:
Logitec System Mouse, 4X CD-ROM (IDE), US Robotics V.34 Sportster
Data/Fax Modem (28.8), Creative Labs AWE32 Wavetable Soundcard, #9 Tri
Graphics Accelerator PCI (2MB DRAM), 1 GB EIDE hard drive, 6.4 GB EIDE
hard drive.

When I tried to install FreeBSD 2.2.6 to my computer, I failed. The
procedure I used is:
a. Boot from CD-ROM.
b. In the Kernel Configuration Menu, select Start kernel configuration
in Visual Mode.
c. Delete those devices my computer does not have ( but I do not know
how I can add the information about Soundcard).
d. Save changes and continue.

After probing floppy, serial ports and hard drive etc. successfully, the
system was locked up. Only the message "Probing devices, please wait ...
" was displayed on the screen with blue background and never exited from
such a state.

Could somebody show me what is wrong with my installation and what I
should do to solve installation problem. Thank you very much for your
help.
