When you say "system hangs" and "it stops responding", does that mean that the entire system hangs (and will not react to anything such as interrupting the installation program, switching vty, pressing alt-ctrl-del, or ejecting the cd), or does the install stop (while the system continues to work)? I have seen the latter (install stops; system works fine) happen a few times, and it was my impression that the atapi cdrom drive I was using was at fault; I never had it during ftp install or when i used a scsi cdrom drive. But it was only a vague impression. Never really investigated. And if you have the former (complete hang) it's even more likely that you have hardware problems... --Bart To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
