FreeBSD 5.x on Compaq Pressario R3000 series

[contact at claes.fr]

Hi,

  I have a problem that I can not explain on my laptop computer, a Compaq
Pressario R3000 series. The FreeBSD BOOT-CD doesn't work anymore, the computer
suddendly shutdown :-|.

  The problem is related here (http://blackk.union.edu/~black/freebsd/) and my
processor is not an AMD-64 but an AMD Athlon XP-M 3000+ K8-Core based.

  I've already tried to install FreeBSD with the 5.4-RC2 BOOT-CD and the problem
isn't been fixed. Any idea ? I doesn't want to build my own BOOT-CD and patch
some file :-|.


Best regards,

Claes aka Julien M.
