I tried to boot from 7.0-release-AMD64, 7.0-release-i386 and
6.2-release-i386 install disks (about to try 6.3-release-amd64). I could not
successfully boot up the computer using the install disks mentioned.
Sometimes there would be a memory dump (scrolling infinitely), sometimes I
would get the following message(s) :


elf_32_lookup_symbol : corrupt symbol table

There is no significant BIOS option in this laptop that I can think of to at
least begin to trouble shoot this issue. Laptop works fine for other
operating systems as far as I can tell.  

Initial documentation suggests that this laptop should work, however, I'd
like to get some more insight from freebsd-stable before continuing. 


If any additional information is required, please let me know.



Cheers,

Kevin K.
