Hello Ted:
Thanks for your help. I tried that before without success. I am going to download 4.10 floppies and I will tell you the result.
Thanks.
Ramiro.

See http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=acpi&sektion=4&manpath=FreeBSD+5.3- RELEASE particularly the section:
To disable the acpi driver completely, set the kernel environment vari- able hint.acpi.0.disabled to 1.
This should be done in the loader prompt. When you get the message:
Hit [Enter] to boot immediately, or any other key for command prompt. Booting [kernel] in 9 seconds... _
hit any other key for the command prompt then turn off acpi.
If this doesen't work, try loading FreeBSD 4.10

Hello dear FreeBSD friends.
I am Ramiro from Spain.This is my first post to the list. I am a regular Debian GNU/Linux user, but I have been tempted to try FreeBSD. I have installed it successfully on my 1200 MHz Athlon computer booting from the CDROM drive and I like it, but I can not install it in an old Pentium 100 MHz fujitsu computer. This old machine can not boot from the CDROM, so I tried to boot with the floppies. I have prepared the 3 floppies several times and I stil can not install it. I boot with the "boot.flp" floppy ok. I insert "kern1.flp" and it loads ok. I insert "kern2.flp" and it loads ok. I was prompted to insert "boot.flp" floppy again and it shows the logo screen with the booting options. If I choose the default (with no acpi), the computers shudenly restarts without being able to see any message. The remaining options cause the same machine reboot. I can enter into the loader prompt.
¿What can I do?
Any help will be apreciated.
Sorry for my bad english. Ramiro.
