>Description:
when I try to install freebsd 4.5 the system freezes at the probing devices screen. I've installed 4.4 on this system when it had a different video card and no modem, here are the specs:
ABIT KT7E motherboard
ATI Xpert 2000 Pro video card
standard floppy and cdrom drives
Sound Blaster 16 ISA card
Western Digital 20 Gig hard drive
external parallel port zip drive (older type)
US Robotics 2977 internal pci hardware modem (works in linux)
Epson Stylus Color 600 attached to the zip drive
Old HP 14 inch monitor

When I took out the modem the system froze with the console message:
mounting root from ufs:/dev/md0c
>How-To-Repeat:
try to install freebsd 4.5 (or 4.4) on my hardware
