After "skipping the kernel config and continuing with the install" (from the initial menu), it begins probing devices. However, it freezes, where the last thing displayed is checking plip0. I've tried multiple floppies, and I've installed on this machine several times before, but I've never come across anything like this before. I have flipped through the release notes and list archives, but have not found anything that looks promising. Suggestions, anyone? Thanks.
