Has anybody got an idea what the heck I have to do to get the 4.2R installaiton media to load properly? I've tried on different machines, I've tried on SCSI CD-ROM's and IDE CD-ROM's, I've tried to boot from the CD and from the floppies, I've also tried the floppies of the latest -STABLE, but all with the same result: when the devices are being scanned it gets as far as the parallel port and then it sits there and does nothing. The last line on the screen says plip0: <PLIP network interface> on ppbus0 and there it stays. I've also tried disabling any and all devices which are not absolutely required for the install, but it still stops. I've been using FreeBSD since v2.0.5 on lots of machines, but I've never had a problem like this before. Also all the previous releases boot, install and run just fine on the same machines, so it should not be anything with the hardware. Any hints eagerly accepted.
