I configured it fine in the visual configuration editor, however upon hitting 'Q' to exit, the system hangs with a flashing cursor in the top left of the screen. I had originally thought this was due to a peculiarity of my machine, but I have since heard of at least one other person having the same problem. >How-To-Repeat: Attempt to use the visual configuration tool when booting with the 2.2.6-RELEASE boot floppy. >Fix: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
