install is hanging

[Mike Donovan]

When trying to install Freebsd 4.6 via CD on my old Dell desktop it stalls
on the
"Probing port, please wait (this may take a while)..." window.  Hitting
alt -> F2 I see that the the system hangs each time at the line "DEBUG Can't
open PC-card controller /dev/card0."   The system is not a laptop.

Any help is appreciated.  The CDs with FreeBSD handbook cost me $70.  I'd
hate to find out it won't work on this system.
