Everything is fine until sometime during file copy. The box just freezes, the exact freezing point varies between tries. Only the halt button gets the machine out of that state. I tried the following configurations, each with a CD and with the files on a local ftp server: graphics console, serial console and serial console on the headless machine (took the card out). And I tried all of the above with and without soft update. No luck :-( The box runs VMS and Linux just fine, and it does heavy disk I/O and network traffic without problem under these OSes. RAM is 256MB. Any ideas? Wolfgang To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
