Has anyone experiences with installing FreeBSD on a IBM Thinkpad 770ED?
My machine has following configuration:
TP 770ED, 7.8GB IBM DYLA-HD (78100?), 96MB Ram, iPII-266, Trident-Video.
PCMCIA: PSION DACOM 56Kflex/fax/ISDN
        3COM 3C589D

Does not matter, if cards inserted or not.

Experiences:
- Booting with FreeBSD 2.2.7 RELEASE CD-Rom:
        hangs while kernel config
Booting with FreeBSD 3.1 RELEASE CD-Rom:
        takes a long time to boot
        after kernel was booted, no access possible (Device not configured)

the machine hangs with a few fast short "deep" "pieps". Sometimes while in
the kernel configuration kernel menu, sometimes while checking the
devices.

Booting with FreeBSD 3.4PAO Diskettes:
        boots pretty good, kernel configuration OK
        quitting the configuration menu and booting the kernel:
        it hangs with a few fast short "deep" pieps

here are the last output lines from the PAO-Boot:

any ideas? It seems, the PnP stuff makes the problem?!
