>Description:
When I try to install FreeBSD 4.1 i386 on a Pentium133 with 64 MB of RAM 
via FTP, the software on the installation floppies hangs when installing
via "HTTP proxy" is selected. I have tried on 4 different Pentium 133 and
they are all subject to this bug
>How-To-Repeat:
- Prepare the installation floppies for FreeBSD 4.1
- Boot the installation floppies
- Select installation via FTP and select the "HTTP proxy" option
- The installation then hangs 
>Fix:
The following workaround has been successfull in 4 out of 4 cases:
- Select installation via FTP, but select "active FTP" instead of "HTTP proxy"
- I get an error message, because the network is behind a firewall
- Then I select "HTTP proxy" and everything works fine
