I originally tried to install DOS on the first partition of 300 megs with the other 200 used for FreeBSD. When that was unsuccesfull, I tried allowing FreeBSD to use the entire disk. In either case, the install hangs when when the dialog box says: "unzipping /stand/sysinstall onto hard disk" I have already installed FreeBSD to a different IDE drive as well as a partition on a SCSI drive with no problems. Anybody have any ideas? Please email me your ideas. Thanks Keith ***************************************************************************** Keith A.
