Hi, I'm trying to install FreeBSD on a pentium and I'm running into 
problems during bootup from the bootdisk (boot.flp). The machine boots 
then hangs on the line:

pci0:3 vendor=0xfc23, device=0x605f, class=old [not supported]

Can anyone make any sense of the above line? What is it that isn't
supported?

Will FreeBSD run on my machine? My hardware config is:

60 MHz Pentium
1 gig Conner SCSI HD
AIC 7770 scsi controller
32 meg ram
SVGA

Many thanks for any help. (BTW very newbie!)
