Instead of installing into the mounted target drive the installer attempts to fill up /, which is just mfs. I have newfs bug is, but, I've had the same occurance. However, it doesn't seem to *do* anything... As far as the "look up" hang: this occurs due to mishandled interrupts in the network controller. I don't think its driver specific. Once I installed a PCI device and configured the IRQ to use a non-shared interrupt, the installer was A-OK. I used a Kingston KNE111TX/100B. The base system is a 400mhz Xeon Intel CPU with 128MB RAM. ATA0.0 has a 6449 MB WD. ATA1.0 has a LITE-ON CD. The only other card on the motherboard is an Intel i740 AGP. The motherboard is an Intel 440BX AGPset GA-6BXC.
