During boot from floppy all hardware is detected. The install will continue as normal until it comes time to start the copy of "bin" onto the hard disks. At about 3% the system will lock up. No keyboard function is available. A cold boot is required. >How-To-Repeat: Install FreeBSD 4.0-RELEASE. >Fix: I have a feeling this problem is in the new disk driver. I am using a computer that has a CMD640B controller. I belive that the driver did generate a warning of some type, however it goes by so fast I am unable to get the exact message. There is no way to access dmesg to read the possible warning. The fix for my problem was to install FreeBSD 3.3-RELEASE. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
