Sorry...everything's IDE. /dev/wd0 [primary, first] was a 4GB EIDE HDD [secondary, first drive] was a ATAPI CDROM. No idea why it hung, but it was a full hang, nothing worked, even the keyboard LEDs didn't respond. have the default /, /var, /usr filesystems. Never hung on me /w 2.1.6 or 2.2.1 for months then everything's gone...I was a little weird, sorry. Thanks, Craig Anthony
