I'm trying to install 3.1-release from floppy and then ftp on a plain Packard Bell (Pentium 75 / 32 MB RAM) desktop box. The box has a standard IDE drive (Seagate 1GB approx) and a 3Com 3c509 (Etherlink III). No sound card, no CD, just the built-in video card and the 3Com. It has been running BSDI BSD/OS 3.x and 4.x flawlessly for almost two years. After it recognizes the initial devices and disk (wd0), it goes to the "Probing devices" screen, then hangs. I've run the visual kernel config thing and removed _everything_ except the very basic (leaving only the 3c509 card), changed the settings on the 3c509 to match the FreeBSD defaults (irq 10, io 0x300), and I always have the same problem. Plug and play is disabled, of course. Any hints? Thanks, -T. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
