11.2 Installer Issues on G5

So I tried booting the installer again and for some reason it worked,
but the problem seems to exist in the installed system too.
At random times it'd just hang while I'm using it and the red #7 LED
will light up. There's no error messages or panics that I can see.

Also, is it normal/expected that the white front LED will be turned
off whenever I boot FreeBSD?-------- Original Message --------
