It won't install

[Rob Langnau]

Just to let you know, we attempted to install FreeBSD 4.8 onto a Sun Enterprise 4000 with no success. I've included a text file describing the system in question. Regarding my background. I'm currently a Sun Solaris Administer and the other guy who tried to install it on that machine is an AIX Admin. This message's intent is not to be one of complaint but, to help you in your porting efforts. Thank You for your time.
