I just installed FreeBSD 2.1 on a 486 box, and I'm having trouble with it hanging during bootup. It gets to this point: add net default: gateway 204.119.47.50 (204.119.47.50 is the default gateway used by the entire office.) It hangs on the above line for probably 5-10 minutes. Eventually it will boot up, and the default gateway DOES work. I've also noticed that if I ^C at the point where it hangs, it continues booting again until it tries to start sendmail. It then hangs at sendmail until I ^C again. Then I finally get the login prompt. Why the grueling bootup? Thanx in advance for any help you might be able to throw my way. Chris Odom
