Hi, I downloaded the 4.0-RELEASE iso and after verifying MD5 checksum, burned a CD Whilst installing FreeBSD 4.0 on an Intel 2U rack mount platform, I observe that after configuring the network interface (onboard eepro100 listed as fxp0) and saying yes to the question "Shall I bring the network interface up now", installation hangs with a blank screen. The only way out is to press Ctrl-C which aborts the entire installation However, if I switch to a different virtual console and do a ping to the gateway specified earlier, it works Does anybody see this behavior, I have tried doinng installs with/without crypto and on different boxes to and I see this behaviour repeatedly Regards, Yusuf -- Yusuf Goolamabbas yusufg@outblaze.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
