Hi there, I'm having some trouble installing 2.2.2-RELEASE on to a Compaq Contura Aero. I've downloaded the PAO boot floppy and got it to boot, but it hangs at a certain part - when it is Initializing PC-card controller... I was going to try and install over the parallel port using one of those laplink cables and PLIP, but it never got that far. For those of you who do not know, the Aeros use a PC-card/PCMCIA floppy (and they only have one PCMCIA slot). I tried removing the floppy card and installing a PCMCIA ethernet card when prompted, but it still hung looking for the PC-card controller. Any ideas? Am I missing something basic here? I've never installed FreeBSD on this (or any other) laptop, but the Aero was working fine before (running DOS). I've seen mention that it works in the PAO docs as well as some of the mailing list archives, so someone must have gotten it running. Thanks for any help. Carlos
