>Description:
The FreeBSD installer progresses to installing the files into any part of the file system, often a random part.
then it seems to get confused about the installation rate, and seems to cause either a divide by zero panic, or an integer divide fault.
tried to install for either CDROM or MSDOS slice with similar problems, tried disabling 32bit and block mode in bios, and lba
using ide 2.1g drive type ST-(something or other)
haven't tried changing drive into another computer and installing and then moving back, will soon
the installation seems to get further when i use tty1 instead of the main screen
but still with no effect?

>How-To-Repeat:
use same drive type?
pentium seems to need F00F workaround (wasn't that just a security issue)

>Fix:
i've got no ideas

 resolved this issue myself, turns out that my amibios had an option that
 was 'enhancing' my IDE controller, so i put that in standard mode, and
 all is well.
