Hm. ftp.freebsd.org is pretty loaded right now, it may be hanging on a new 'get' command. Or your link may be timing out at just that point. Is this in the bindist? Take a look at the debug screen (ALT-F2) and look for any errors. > the first part of my install my com2 wouldnt work, and com1 i cant use > becuase for some reason i always loose my route to my ISP. but i got that > working fine as of now, but a friend of mine also had to swtch com ports > from 1 to 2 instead of like me 2 to 1, because it would talk to the > modem, on neither of our computers. This is due to a misconfiguration of the sio ports or your BIOS. FreeBSD uses the standard settings for the sio ports and if they don't probe then your BIOS was changed. Nothing can conflict with the sio devices.
