Where they probed correctly?  And, how did you install FreeBSD via floppies
if you had no hard-drive?  Do you have both IDE and SCSI? 

To answer these sorts of questions, your best bet is to send email to
freebsd-questions@freefall.cdrom.com, where folks can answer your questions
in an easier manner, and ask you questions that the Net folks are probably
not intersted in.
