As far as I remember, the CDs wouldn't even boot into the install
process at one point. They worked fine on another machine, and other
installation CDs for things like NetBSD worked, so I think it probably
was OS related. Perhaps FreeBSD is just missing support for my laptop's
hardware, but I'm surprised that other things worked.

Wireless support would be useful, but I'm generally plugged into a wired
ethernet network so it's not of huge importance.
