Installation problems

[Amer El-Kurdi]

hi, my name is Amer and I'm studing at Swinburne University of Technology
Australia. My final year project involves the use of FreeBSD. After following 
the steps posted on your website I was still not able to install FreeBSD.
The installation process reaches the stage of Device Probing and then i get a 
message that says resetting devices and nothing happens after that point. I 
have 2 hard drives on my computer one is running XP and the other is formated 
and ready to install FreeBSD on it(I can do that right?) 
anyway I've included a list of the IRQ's and the I/O with this email
the version of FreeBSD that I'm trying to install is 4.8

Thank you for your help 
Amer
