I've been trying to install FreeBSD on an Inspiron Zino HD configured with an AMD Athlon 3250e processor.
I've tried and failed with versions:
7.2-RELEASE-amd64-bootonly
7.2-RELEASE-amd64-livefs
8.0-RELEASE-amd64-bootonly
8.0-RELEASE-amd64-disc1
I know the media is not corrupted as I have installed on different machines successfully and verified with checksums.
I get as far "Looking up /boot/loader... found" then it just hangs. I even left the machine running for almost an hour and it simply sat there with this same message. It appears the machine is doing something as the media spins but it doesn't progress from this point. I'm not sure how to proceed and have had little luck when searching in this forum and others for hints/advice. Any advice or direction would be appreciated. If I need to provide more information please let me know. Thank you in advance.
