Usually it hangs when "copying bin to /", but once i got past that stage and it hung while "copying doc to /". I've noticed this issue on other releases and on different hardware. I dunno if I just have bad luck, or what have you. I've tried installing directly from the CD, and I've used the CD to boot up and try to install from FTP; both failed -- many times. In this case, I am installing to a 3Ware 5000 series Escalade controller, so I don't know if that would make a difference, though my understanding was with 4.2, there was full support for the card. Any suggestions? Oh yeah, I was trying even the minimal install, just to get what I needed to start, and even that hung on me. -- Best regards, Kevin mailto:kmenard@wpi.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
