Acer travelmate 2702 LCi installation problem

[u n i x l a n d]

Hello,

I have an Acer Travelmate 2702 LCi.

When I put a freebsd installation cdrom (I have tried any version, with and 
without ACPI) in the box and start it up, everything goes fine untill it wants 
to load the kernel. the "/" then just sits there and does nothing. I need a 
power recycle before I can use the laptop again.

Please help, because I really want freebsd on my laptop, and not redhat or the 
likes....(they work fine on the laptop, though)...

Any suggestions ?

Rick
