The system is a 486-33 with 32Meg of RAM, an on-board SCSI controller with 1 Gig and 200 Meg Hard drives and a Panasonic SCSI CD-ROM drive. After making the boot diskettes, and booting, when I get to the "Install screen" the system locks up. I suspect it is a kernel problem - but have no idea of what to look at, or where to look? The system also has an IBM LanStreamer 32 TokenRing and 3Com 3C523 Ethernet cards. I have checked with the Reference and Option diskettes, nothing is set to use IRQ 2. I have had SlackWare Linux running on the box, but because MCS is not "supported" for Linux, would prefer to run BSD, any help would be appreciated.
