Subject:   Bringing up network interface during 4.0 install hangs installation

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
