Both the modem floppy disk activity stop, and the install hangs. I thought it might be a keyboard problem (based on the Keyboard: no message) so I tried unplugging the keyboard, and got the same result. Also, the keyboard is recognized well enough to allow me to CTRL-ALT-DEL to restart the machine. I'm attempting to install on a Dell OptiPlex GX1 Pentium II 400. Unique items in my config include: Adaptec 2940U/UW SCSI Controller -> WDE9100-1807AU HD Creative EIDE PC-DVD ROM with Drx2 card Microsoft Natural Keyboard Cirque Glidepoint Touchpad I've previously installed FreeBSD 3.1 on the machine without any problem. TIA for any assistance. Please don't hesitate to contact me if I can provide any additional information that might help diagnose the problem Best regards, Vernon To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
