Can't boot completely
>Description:
A few things going on here...

1. When installing from the 5.1 cd's kernel configuration never shows up.
2. When trying to configure the network if w/sysinstall whenver I choose DHCP,
   I get a kernel panic. I can configure w/out dhcp
3. When booting kenel panics again trying to bring the eithernet interface up
4. After booting from the CD to do a fix it, kernel panics when trying to
   write to the hard disk.

Was able to successfully boot once w/out configuring the network if. But
I went straight to setting it up using sysinstall and static IP. And that
was it.

Specs: 3com 3c905 NIC, 60GB Maxtor HD


>How-To-Repeat:
I haven't tried reinstalling from scratch yet, every boot either from CD
has the same problem and and installed system seems unreachable.

 FreeBSD 5 does not have an interactive kernel configuration like 4.X
 has.  Instead it uses "device hints", which are described in the
 Handbook.  In most cases it should not be needed to set special hardware
 driver options.

 It sounds like there is a bug in the driver for your network interface.
 
 I have a 3Com 3c905B-TX, and a 80GB Maxtor and both works fine under
 FreeBSD 5.2RC.
 
 Could you please try 5.2RC2 (or the upcomming 5.2-RELEASE) and see if
 the problem still exists?
