Subject:   4.2 install hanging

Hello,

I am trying to install FreeBSD 4.2, but my install keeps hanging.
Usually it hangs when "copying bin to /", but once i got past that
stage and it hung while "copying doc to /".  I've noticed this issue
on other releases and on different hardware.  I dunno if I just have
bad luck, or what have you.

I've tried installing directly from the CD, and I've used the CD to
boot up and try to install from FTP; both failed -- many times.

In this case, I am installing to a 3Ware 5000 series Escalade
controller, so I don't know if that would make a difference, though my
understanding was with 4.2, there was full support for the card.

Any suggestions?

Oh yeah, I was trying even the minimal install, just to get what I
needed to start, and even that hung on me.
