>Description:
While installing from a CD, the machine hangs at the following line

agp0: <Intel 82443BX (440 BX) host to PCI bridge>
agp0: allocating GATT for aperature of size 64M

A search on google revealed other people having this same issue and tracking it down the the AGP support in the kernel.

As a note booting from the floppies works great, but they install a kernel which has AGP built in so the system won't boot after the installation has finished.

Is AGP support really necessary in the default kernel?

Boot a kernel without AGP support.

 Could you try the suggestion mentioned in PR 61739 and see if that help?

 I looked at problem report 61739 and am not sure how to adjust my AGP 
 aperature size?  I did not see an option in my BIOS, is there a boot 
 option or sysctl variable which can be set?
 
 The aperature size is also lower than 256MB so I am not sure this 
 pr[68518] relates to that pr[61739].
 
 I have currently worked around the problem by installing freebsd on a 
 different machine, rebuilding the kernel without AGP support and then 
 swapping the harddrive into the offending machine.  I am happy to 
 continue working through the problem though.
 
 Thanks,
 Russ

 If there is no BIOS option I don't think it's possible.

 OK, it was just an idea, your problem could different.

 Could you try to boot a -CURRENT kernel with AGP support, or a
 -CURRENT snapshot [1] to see if the problem has been fixed after
 5.2.1?

 I downloaded
 
 ftp://snapshots.jp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/i386/ISO-IMAGES/cdboot-current.iso
 
 This morning, <July 12, 2004> and tried to boot the machine from CD, it 
 still hung at the same location.

 OK :-/ - Then someone with knowledge of the AGP part of the kernel
 need to have a look at it.
 
 Thanks for testing though.
