It hung to no avail when booting as it tried to bring up the PCIC devices. 4.1.1 boot device floppies worked. I installed 4.2 from those floppies the first time, but it installed the 4.2 generic kernel, which for some reason hung as well. I'll send more details on this later. -Denver It looks like on 12/19/00 at 11:39, Peter Radcliffe may have said: > Samuel Tardieu probably said: > > On 19/12, Ben Lutgens wrote: > > | Hey all, I have a sony vaio that I'd love to install freebsd on.
