Dear BSD guru,
Whilst installing freeBSD 3.1 (walnut creek cd)

i go thru the kernel config screen put in my hardware, deletestuff that ain't there,
it then says it's probing devices

if i press the sys rq button it switches to the background giving me the following message

DEBUG: ioctl(3, TIOCCONS, NULL) = 0 (success)
rm: not found
DEBUG found network device named lp0

it then freezes the machine at this point.

I've tried this on a 486 and a pentium machine and both give the same result.

-Gus
