I'm using a CD with a boot floppy. When I boot the floppy, I select and save the drivers, the screen then blanks, it reads from the floppy, checks the disks and printer on the parallel port, then hangs with the blank screen. I've waited about 10 minutes before aborting the installation. I have an NCR53c815 PCI scsi card and an Intel EtherExpress Pro 10+ ISA ethernet card. I thought maybe the machine was looking for the network, but I've tried installing with and without the ethernet driver loaded, and with and without the machine connected to the network. Any ideas on how to get the installation going? --Greg To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
