>Description:
I am using an Athlon 700 on an ASUS K7V board with 256 MB Mem
When I try to install FreeBSD 4.0, I get the following crash(copied
the screen):
/boot.config: -P
Keyboard: yes

System halted

>How-To-Repeat:
I have tried to boot by CD-ROM, differnet floppies, downloaded images.
The result is always the same. I have also tried slower memory timings.
Win 98 and Linux are running no problem with high load.
>Fix:
None :-(

 I have done some further testing other OSes:
 OpenBSD starts OK and so does Solaris 8. This one failes later
 with a DMA-problem after mounting the Scsi-CDROM.
 
 I can get a boot-prompt, but no matter what I am typing then,
 the crash seems inevitable. Only when typing -Dh, nothing happens
 instead of a dump :-(

 Have you tried disabling the boot sector virus protection in the BIOS?
 ala http://www.FreeBSD.org/FAQ/hardware.html#AEN1373
 
 Thanks!

 Here is feedback from the originator:
