I've been trying to setup a basic FreeBSD 3.2 router box for one of our
permanent
modem account users with a geriatric 486dx33 / 8Mb / 120Mb hard drive box
and
keep getting a hang immediately the system tries to copy files. I initially
tried using an
IDE CD-ROM (set as secondary master) but when it did the hanging bit I then
tried
a floppy install ...... exactly the same thing. Now the specs of the 486
thing aren't
exactly exciting, but I would have thought it would at least let me do an
install. There's
nothing outlandish in the way of stuff in it ..... all ISA / 1Mb Diamond
videocard / 8x1
Mb 30pin RAM / 120Mb IDE / tried various network cards including 3c-509,
SMC 8216 / Intel 8 / 16 .... doesn't seem to make any difference

Any suggestions ??
