I'm experiencing similar problems with my XP1000. When booting with the
19991031 snapshot floppies, the machine also hangs while probing for
devices. With 19990915 I was able to complete the installation, but then
the machine did not boot. ("Can't open file /boot/loader").

I don't have anything weird inside: QLogic 10x0 SCSI controller with 2
disks attached, an atapi CDROM, and standard devices. The machine has
512 MB, and I discard hardware problems since it runs Tru64 UNIX.
