I'm trygin to upgrade from 2.1.0 FreeBSD to 2.1.5.  I've created the
boot floppy per the directions.  When booting-up the machine (with the
boot floppy in the A: drive), When probing the motherboard all appears
ok until it gets to the end.  At such time I get a blank screen with a
white rectangle on the lower left side.  At this point the system is
hung.

Any recommendations or ideas on how to upgrade would be greatly
appreciated.
