Hi, I downloaded the 4.0-RELEASE iso and after verifying MD5 checksum, burned a CD Whilst installing FreeBSD 4.0 on an Intel 2U rack mount platform, I observe that after configuring the network interface (onboard eepro100 listed as fxp0) and saying yes to the question "Shall I bring the network interface up now", installation hangs with a blank screen. The only way out is to press Ctrl-C which aborts the entire installation However, if I switch to a different virtual console and do a ping to the gateway specified earlier, it works I did an install without configuring networking and after a reboot, started /stand/sysinstall and configured the network. After saying yes to the question "Shall I bring up the network interface up now", I did a ifconfig -a and didn't see the IP address listed nor the default route setup Is anybody else seeing similar behaviour. I have done various installs with/without crypto and it still is the same -- Yusuf Goolamabbas yusufg@outblaze.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
