[tlug] FreeBSD installation freeze



Hi.

I'm installing FreeBSD for the first time in an old computer:

Pentium 133, 32MB RAM, 1GB SCSI disk, PS/2 Mouse, Realtek 10Mbps Ethernet card.

I downloaded (binary mode ;) the images of kern.flp and mfsroot.flp Then I dd 
them in two, new and formatted floppies.

The kern.flp disk, boot ok, and ask me the second.
The mfsroot.flp seems to work ok, then arrived at a point that appear the message:

"Waiting 15 seconds for the SCSI device to settle"

After 15 seconds, enter in the installation program. Then it asks me if I wanted 
to load the drivers floppy and just in that dialog it freezes. It freezes in the 
question about driver floppy.
Solutions I tryed:

1. Prove it all with other new floppies.
2. Disconnect the mouse.
3. Look in the Installation FAQ at freebsd.org
4. Turn on a candle to the BSD daemon

What am I doing wrong?

Thank you in advance.

Pietro.
