Here's the hardware: 25mhz 386DX (the chip is dated '85) 4 MB Ram Trident 8800br SVGA NE1000 clone Conner 80 MB HD It boots ok, but after partitioning, labeling, selecting dists, selecting media type and finally saying commit it freezes. I've tried with both the 2.0.5-RELEASE (updated boot.flp) and the 950726-SNAP boot.flp. They both freeze up at some random times after the 'commit' option. Watching the debugging screen during operations, the machine freezes at or during the newfs. However in one case it made it past the newfs and started the download of the root image. I used to run 1.1.5.1 on this machine (with a different HD) so I know it worked before (with the exception of a non-working FPU, I suppose it's a problem with the interrupt line.) Any suggestions?
