You sent this message to doc@freebsd.org, which is probably the incorrect address in this case. I'm copying hackers@freebsd.org on this reply, and they'll certainly tell me if it's the wrong list :-) Albert Bryndza writes: > > hi, i am trying to install the freebsd that i donwloaded from the net > and it locks up at this point: > > npx0: INT 16 interface > > then just hangs there. i tried to disable probing npx0: with the -c > option at bootup but it hangs after saying: > > npx0: probe diabled (or something close to that) > > what could be the problem? i am installing it on an ide drive (which it > found) This probably doesn't have anything to do with npx0. You could try booting with the -v option and see what happens. This message is the last that appears from the boot, so probably the boot has finished and the system is trying to continue with system startup. You could try booting with the -s option as well (single user). This should drop you into single user mode immediately after the npx0 message. Greg
