Here's the scenerio: 100MHZ Pentium Triton chipset (SuperMicro P55CWA) 1.2G Western digital (2484,16,63) LBA enabled 32 bit access enabled PIO MODE 3 850 Conner (1652,16,63) LBA Disabled 32 bit access enabled PIO MODE 3 4x IDE Mitsumi I got the FreeBSD CDROM from ACS bookstore I made my boot an cpio dosk and booted my system from floppy. I setup the the second slice of the 1.2G WD for BSD (242Megs) I partitioned the slice, wrote the label setup mounted points ect... I exited disklabel and as intructed continued on to (p)roceed. All seemed fine, i got messages showing my disk being built and files being xfered. I then get a message to remove my floppy and reboot. Which I do (crtl-alt-del). I get a rebooting message (Rebooting...) and my system hangs. I tried a couple of times to install with no luck. Can anybody point me toward some good troubleshooting docs or give me a pointer? thanks in advance, Ron
