FreeBSD 5.1 fails to install - it just hangs while probing for devices, and I left it for many minutes. There is no ZIP or JAZZ drive; just an IDE disk and an LG CD-RW drive. This machine installs and runs FreeBSD 4.7 with no problems, and the CD for 5.1 has been used successfully on other machines. Any clues, please? Please cc me.
