>Description:
   I am attempting to install 5.1 on a Gateway 450sx with windows 2000 on the first partition, and freebsd 4.6.2 on the second.  I can find no detailed info on updating. The install freezes at the line indicated in the summary when I pick menu item 2. It actually freezes with any choice.  
>How-To-Repeat:
    Run the installation CD. It happens every time.
