 while booting

 Correction:
 
 NetBSD 2.0.x is running well.
 
 With FreeBSD 5.x I am not able to use the keyboard after booting from CD.
 In the bootmenu the keyboard is still usable.
 But after loading sysinstall, I can not controll anything with keys.
 The systems do not seem to be crashed, because when pressing the power button sysinstall
 reacts and shows the cancle menu.

 I just tested around a little bit.
 
 Even NetBSD 2.0.2 and OpenBSD 3.7 crashes directly after loading the kernel.
 
 FreeBSD 4.11 can be installed without problems.
 But it doesn't support the  Realtek RTL-8169 nic and the ALi M5455 PCI AC-Link Audio Device.
 
 If you need further information about the hardware, have a look at my Linux Laptop Review:

 (I'd really like to add FreeBSD to the supported OS's. Apart from "not running on my laptop", FreeBSD is really good.
 By the way: Under linux Slackware is my choice.
 
 I hope you can do something getting FreeBSD to run on my laptop.
