I have a DEC Venturis 5100, 32MB RAM, two EIDE disks (one as wd0, the other wd2), and an EIDE CDROM (on the first controller). I used to have Win95 and FreeBSD-2.1.0R on it. About two weeks ago, Win95 crashed real bad, and the BIOS said I have to reconfigure the system. After resetting almost all BIOS settings to default, I got Win95 to boot, but FreeBSD wouldn't. I am now reinstalling FreeBSD (after removing the old partitions) and the machine hangs dead after copying about 10% of bin with the drive light on. The output vty doesn't show any errors, and the sysmptoms are the same both for CDROM installation and MSDOS-partition installation. I tried installting it as a second partition on the same disk with Win95, or on a disk of its own. No luck both ways. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Nadav
