I had the same problem (with the 7890 onboard), except it froze
after recognizing my SCSI devices.

I ran into this problem when doing the 3.1 Install (from floppy).
After juggling a few things (mainly physical positions of the
drives in the case -- no cable/config changes) it worked.

I don't know what the problem was, though all failures were preceded
with a "zf_read: fill error" before the freezes.

Anyone know of any problems with the 7890 chipset?
