I have a 133MHZ Pentium processor with 64MB of RAM and a 2GB hard drive. When I boot to the CD, after the initial startup the Kernel Configuration Menu is displayed. I select the first option (Skip Configuration), and then text that appears to be my various hardware scrolls bye until it freezes. These are the last three lines of that output. pnaphy0: on miibus0 pnaphy0: Home PNA pci0: at 19.0 The lines above the quoted output go through what appears to be recognizing my other hardware including my Voodoo2 graphics card. The first to lines of this output is my network card, and the last line is the on-board graphics chip. The cursor then is displayed but nothing happens. The system just locks up. I have no clue what to do. Any assistance or advice you can offer would be greatly appreciated. Thank You in Advance, Patrick -- Patrick Wheeler patfiles@fastmail.fm
