Hi, I'm having a small installation problem with FreeBSD on a server system. The system will boot both floppies fine, but when it comes to either copying files to the hard disk (from a DOS partition or the Internet) it hangs after it copies 1024 bytes. At times it even hangs when creating the file systems (especialy the root file system). I have tried numerous drive geometry settings, as well as several different installation methods, different label/slice settings, and even low-leveling the drive, with no luck. Specs of the system: 1 Pentium 166 on an SMP capable board. 2 Onoard Adaptec AIC-7870 fast-wide SCSI-2 controllers One 2GB IBM Tandem SCSI-2 drive, on the second controller, ID 4 8MB of Parity RAM I feel this is a controller problem, as I saw no support for a 7870 controller in the hardware list, but the erratic behavior is strange, freezing in various points. Any help would be appreciated :) Yann To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
