The subject line says it all. If I can get to the install menu I intend to upgrade from 4.3-RELEASE to 4.4-RELEASE. Oddly, there was no such problem using 4.3 install floppies. I've searched through the archives and found people with a similar problem, but found no definitive answer. I tried disabling the parallel port in the Award BIOS, but no joy. I also disabled it in the FreeBSD configuration menu, but then it seems to hang at SIO instead. Here's the detailed hardware setup: ASUS P2B-N PIII 600 Slot 1 128MB RAM 10GIG IDE IBM Hard drive Floppy Slim CD ROM Onboard ATI Rage PRO 8MB Onboard ESS Solo-1TM 3D positional PCI Audio Onboard Intel 82558 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet Controller Supports Wake-On LAN PCI 3COM 905B 10/100 Card Latest Bios Installed Detailed Motherboard Info: http://www.asus.com/products/Motherboard/Pentiumpro/P2b-n/index.html Motherboard Info: Processor Single Slot 1 for Intel PentiumR III 600MHz, PentiumR II (up to 450MHz), and CeleronTM 500MHz processors.
