Hi! all

I have experienced a strange phenomenon during FreeBSD 2.1 installation.
I made a boot floppy using rawrite command and boot my system.
During first boot, my monitor became BLACK!!

I try to solve this problem but monitor was still black.
After some trials, I began to suspect my graphic card was the problem.
So, I replaced my graphic card using 'Mach64CT' with a new graphic card using
ET4000AX. It showed successfully sysinstall screen.

Do the Mach64CT chips have any problem with FreeBSD 2.1?
If so, do FreeBSD-current solve this problem?
