I have installed FreeBSD on several machines, and am in the process of installing it on an older 486 system. I am installing 4.0 from the CD, which is not bootable, so I am using the two floppy boot to bring it up. Install screens look normal, and the system begins to install, but stops between hunk 8 and 27. Never in the same place. The virtual console on 4 seems to work fine. I can read the CD and list HD directory contents OK, but transfer from the CD just stops. No clues on screen 2 either. I thought it might be my ed0 card and yanked that, but same thing. Any ideas on getting past this? Is there a manual install routine on the CD? Nothing in the mailing list archives has offered a clue. thanks, -- Richard Martin dmartin@origen.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
