problems installing BSD5.1

[mnguyen84]

boot from CD 1.. choose option 1. default... hangs .

What are you installing it on, and are there any error messages on boot?

 

[mnguyen84]

i'm installing it on a 1700+ asus a7n8x. I'm booting it from a liteon dvd room... and no.. no error message. it just hangs at the "mounting usf: dev/md0" message...

Assuming you mean FreeBSD 5.1?

DOes it support the nForce2 chipset?
nVidia isn't too fond of sharing their hardware documentation with OSS developers, so support for Linux/BSD is relatively crappy.

Check your burn. Remove extra hardware. md0 looks like a memory file system.

5.1 is their experimental release. If you want something stable, I recommend 4.9. I just installed a copy of it 2 days ago without any hassles whatsoever.
