Does this thing *have* AGP video?

How about the "visual configuration" to remove some devices that
aren't present in your system?

Or a production release, perhaps.  Still, for laptops there are a lot
of nice improvements in 5.0...

Try 4.7 Release.  5.0 is new technology.  See:
http://www.freebsd.org/releases/5.0R/early-adopter.html

Toshiba Satellite 5105-S501 Install Hang

2003-02-21 Thread jaymz
I downloaded and burned the ISO's for Release-5.0 .  Running the 
install program from the CD gets to the boot prompt.  Pressing [enter] 
starts the kernel, but when it gets to the 'agp0' line of the hardware 
listing it hangs.  No further messages.

Attempting to unload/disable agp modules (desparate attempt) at the 
'OK ' boot prompt yielded isnane results (no difference)

I'm new to FreeBSD, first experience trying to install it (maybe I 
should find a more common piece of hardware :-D )  Experienced with 
OBSD and familiar with Linux.

Thanks In Advance
