Hi Patrick,


 The lines above the quoted output go through what appears to be
 recognizing my other hardware including my Voodoo2 graphics card.  The
 first to lines of this output is my network card, and the last line is
 the on-board graphics chip.

is there a conflict with your graphic card and the onboard graphic chip?

Try this:

- If there is a jumper on the mainboard to disable the onboard chip,
check if it is set and try again.

- If the above don't work, remove the Voodoo2 card and enable the
onboard chip, and try again. Does it work now?

 Subject: Major Installation Problems


 I have FreeBSD 4.1 on CD that I am trying to install but
 can't. I have a 133MHZ Pentium processor with 64MB of RAM and
 a 2GB hard drive.

 When I boot to the CD, after the initial startup the Kernel
 Configuration Menu is displayed. I select the first option
 (Skip Configuration), and then text that appears to be my
 various hardware scrolls bye until it freezes. These are the
 last three lines of that output.

 pnaphy0: Am79c978 HomePNA PHY on miibus0
 pnaphy0: Home PNA
 pci0: ATI Mach64-GT graphics accelerator at 19.0

 The lines above the quoted output go through what appears to
 be recognizing my other hardware including my Voodoo2
 graphics card.  The first to lines of this output is my
 network card, and the last line is the on-board graphics
 chip.  The cursor then is displayed but nothing happens. The
 system just locks up. I have no clue what to do.

 Any assistance or advice you can offer would be greatly
 appreciated. Thank You in Advance, Patrick

I would suggest checking out the freebsd HAL, or Hardware Compatibility
List on the site to see if anything conflicts with what you have.  If
you don't see anything, try one of two things:

1) Try a more recent version of FreeBSD (like 4.10 or 5.x)
2) Try removing unnecessary hardware until things work.  If you have a
PCI/AGP video card, try that and disable your on-board card, for
example.

Post your results here and we can help you from there.

Thanks,

Eric F Crist
