I had similar problem on our Pentinum-100 (PN-2000 motherboard, Intel chip set)
FreeBSD 2.0-950412-SNAP installation program cannot start from hard drive, the
second boot after floppy installed. rebooting hangs. Reset is needed.
FreeBSD 2.0-950322-SNAP is successfully installed. Some problem, reboot or halt
will hang, and reset is needed. Also, XF86 3.1.1 can not installed.
As suggested by some people, I went back further to installed the 2.0 RELEASE,
installation successfully for kernal, still has same problem: cannot reboot.
The only way to reboot is to push the reset button.
Installing XF86 3.1.1 fails due to:
Memory Failure
My impression is that this motherboard is not good for FreeBSD. Does FreeBSD
reject any other motherboards? I will buy more Pentinum 90-120 machines,
and what motherboard I should buy.
Thanks for all comments,
