I want to install FreeBSD 5.4 onto a partition on my 1 year old HP laptop.

I've done a lot of Linux distro installs, and sometimes I need to give the installer a hint about the graphics card,
typically something  like:

boot: linux vga=771

When I try the FreeBSD installer, the screen goes blank about 5 seconds after it starts booting from the CD, typically at the point where it switches to X Window in a Linux install.

Is there a similar hint I can give FreeBSD about the type of graphics to use? What are the syntax and choices?
I have googled for this without success.  Thanks,

Peter
