    I've been having a problem that is exactly the same as outlined in

    http://news.gw.com/freebsd.newbies/5472

    when attempting to install FreeBSD 4.8 on my IBM Thinkpad AT clone (486).
    The same problem occured when I used floppies of different versions
    including 4.6 and 4.7. I tested the floppies on one of my other machines
    and the Kernel Configuration Menu came up fine, no reboot. Is it
    impossible to install FreeBSD via floppies on this machine? Will the
    images work? Thanks.
