I found this problem on two computers
1. PC
Processor: Intel PIII 550MHz/256KB Cache
Motherboard: AOpen AX6BC
Memory: 128 MB
2. PC
Processor: Intel PIII 500MHz/156KB Cache
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-6BXC
Memory: 256 MB
If I boot from the CD-ROM sysinstall starts and hangs while
probing
the devices. The last message on the debug screen was like "Found
a network device lp0".
I could reproduce this problem with the following CD-ROMs:
FreeBSD 4.0 Snapshot June 1999
FreeBSD 3.3 Release with 4 CD-ROMs bought via SuSE Germany
FreeBSD 4.0 Release
The Problem didn't occurs with a recorded 4.0 ISO-Image from
ftp.freebsd.org.
Since I changed the processor on PC 2 to a Intel PIII
550MHz/256KB Cache the problem also didn't occurs.
Bye,
Oliver
