It fetched everything fine. However, the install just hung = after about 10 minutes. The 2 sh processes are basically doing nothing. = Not consuming any processor time and not doing any I/O. I killed it = and tried another install. Same thing. Tried a rollback. Same thing. = The system still runs mostly. Top takes about 5 minutes before it = produces any output. It shows basically nothing running. I really = don't want to reinstall again as the system has a lot of files = customized including many ports. Is there any way to recover this?
