I've had this problem on two Yes, it hangs completely. I know from experience that *nix machines can appear to hang, but continue booting after a few minutes, so I just left it with the error message. After about thirty minutes, nothing had happened yet ;-) I'd call that a hang. > the other (a new AMD K6-2 with a 40-speed drive) the system hung at that That's what I have, too. AMD K6-2/400 with 128 MB, and the CD drive is a Lite-On LTN382, which seems to be a 40-speed ATAPI player. > Also, I found putting a CD in the drive seemed to help.. but perhaps > this was just coincidence, or me imagining it. That was my experience exactly -- although I think we're both imagining it. At one point, the machine would boot fine with a CD inside, but I've found that it doesn't help all the time. > You don't say what FreeBSD version this is.. You could either update to Sorry. It's 3.2-STABLE. The CDs are labelled "June 1999". At this point, as I have a working FreeBSD installation, I have simply disconnected the CD-ROM and will use NFS from one of the Linux boxes whenever I need a CD. But I'll follow up on 3.3-STABLE when it's done, upgrade, and report back ;-) Thanks for your message. --Niels -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-* "Wandering far from nowhere Fusix Networks - http://www.fusix.nl | I came across an old man - Computercursussen van iMac tot Office | working alone..." - Linux-servers voor Intranet | 'Something to live for,' GEG Niels Raijer - http://www.nest.nl/~niels *-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
