does anyone have any ideas on this one...

while trying to load 4.0-19990527-CURRENT on a headless alphastation 200
using an NFS media off of a 2.2.6-RELEASE i386 box, the installation
hangs...

I've tried ram from a system that I know works with no problems, I've
tried diffent hard drives, I've tried two other different systems,
entirely, one with a head, one without.

The only thing that hasn't been eliminated as an issue would be the
network and the NFS server. I can't beleive that the network would be
responsible for this, which leave the NFS server, but i've already loaded
one system with this NFS server using 4.0-19990524-CURRENT, so I don't see
how the NFS server could be the issue, which leaves me with ??? what?

BTW. I just tried installation via URL, it failed at;
----- start -----
1527808 bytes read from bin dist, chunk  7 of 140 @ 23.3 KB/sec. 
----- end -----
which would appear to eliminate the NFS issue. Interestingly, there are
none of the unaligned access messages, on this pass through the install...

ideas?

TIA
