This hasn't happened to me before.

Asus P2B-DS (one CPU) with onboard AIC-7890, 128MB RAM, a couple of UW
SCSI drives.  I've tried installing both from floppy and bootable CD,
with the same results.  I get past the kernel config to where it starts
probing devices, and the last thing that gets displayed is:

 plip0: <PLIP network interface> on ppbus0

At this point I appear to have a full crash, because caps lock and num
lock won't change, and Ctl-Alt-Del is ignored.

I've tried removing all extraneous goop from both the kernel config and
the BIOS settings.  I've tried with "PNP OS" set both to Yes and to No.
I've tried swapping the video card (different brand, different chipset).
And I have now run out of ideas.

The box was working fine running FreeBSD 3.2 up until last night, when
I low-level-formatted the hard disks and tried to start over.

Anyone have a clue what's wrong?

Thanks.
