Hi, At this moment I have problems installing FreeBSD 6.4 and FreeBSD 7.0. After booting from CD the system I get the menu. I have tried all possible options. The system starts checking all hardware but freezes after finding the CD-ROM drives printing the GEOM_LABLE (on FB 7.0, not 6.4) (acd0) The hardware is a Targa Visonary 2700XP, AMD 2700+ CPU, mem 1 GB Can anyone help me. I never had this problems before on other systems. Thanks Jack
