I had 2.1.0-Release installed with Win95 on the same machine, until when Win95 required a reboot for some change in its control panel, and the machine stopped rebooting. I had to reset the machine's setup, because the PCI cards couldn't get an IRQ allocated to them. This made Win95 boot just fine, but FreeBSD would get stuck while fsck-ing. If I'd boot single-user and fsck manually, it would get stuck later on, always with the drive LED on. I decided to reinstall FreeBSD. When I try to install, either from the EIDE CDROM, or from a DOS partition, the installation hangs when copying files into /usr/bin (usually while copying gcc). The frustrating thing is that before that reboot-incident I installed FreeBSD from the CDROM with no problem whatsoever. The configuration is : a DEC Venturis 5100, 100Mhz Pentium, dual EIDE controller with a primary DOS partition and the BSD root, /var and swap on /wd0, another DOS partition and the BSD /usr partiton on /wd2, and a CDROM as the slave on the first channel. I also have a DE435 and an Adaptec 2940 on the PCI (nothing connected to the SCSI). Any help would be appreciated. Nadav
