After i choose Custom Install and finish all of it, you get to a window that says "ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT TO blah blah blah..." after this step the loader is supposed to format/partition your HDs and proceed to install packages..  My computer on the other hand reboots automacially when attempting to repartition the HD's.  

Computer is:
Tomato board from Zida.com
1 - AMD 6k-2 500
64 meg EDO ram(yea i know)
2 meg graphic S3 video card
3 - 2.1 gig HD's (quantum fireball and 2 seagate's)

If you need any other specs let me know.  Thank you and have a good day.

Does this still happen with FreeBSD 4.3 or 4.4?
