Hi, I try to install Freebsd 8.1 (amd64) on my laptop since a few days now and the only screen message I get from booting the CD is this (I copyed everything in case anyone could see something I missed) :

Looking up /BOOT/LOADER... FOUN
Relocating the loader and the BTX
Starting the BTX Loader

BTX loader 1.00 BTX version is 1.02

Loading /boot/defaults/loader.conf

that is where it get stuck. My current hardware setting :
