I am trying to install stable on a 386/33 with 20 Meg. I have correctly downloaded and checked on another machine the boot.flp. After the machine goes through POST it hangs. The floppy is operational with other OS boot disks. Has anyone seen this before? : The MB has CHIPS chipset : EIDE bios controller by SIIG : Trident ISA VGA : DigiBoard PC/16e : 3com Etherlink III 3c509 The only thing that I was not able to find in the FAQ and posts is the controller. Is it supported? Would it cause my machine to hang? I wanted to use this machine to do routing between pppd and the network. I only need to route one ppp connection, so I am not worried about speed. The digiboard is important for other serial devices. The machine is currently running linux slakware 3.0 with kernel 2.0. This is not working very well because of the driver for the digiboard. I understand that the driver FreeBSD is better, therefore I am trying to install it. If the setup performs well, then I will upgrade the system to a faster machine. Any comments or suggestions would be helpful. Thanks in advance... ********************************************************** * Christopher Don Cofer College of Arts * * cofer@unt.edu and Science * * Computer Support Services * **********************************************************
