I have a toshiba satelite a25 laptop running windows xp right now pentium 3 with 512mb ram, with 40 gb unpartitioned space (35 or so has been reserved for bsd). I made 3 .iso's from nero, taken from the files on www.freebsd.org. None of them allow me to actually load into the install portion of the process. 1 or 2 seconds after bsd tries to load, and a bunch of text shows up, it comes to this: "ata0: channel #0 on atapci0." When this comes up, the cd in the drive stops spinning and nothing else happens- i am forced to reboot. I have brief experiences with mandrake 10, but im mostly familiar with windows. I cant wait to get into bsd so if you guys have any input on this issue, please let me know. and thanks alot! James
