I had same problem on our entire network. It does not matter what server we use (Sun, BSD, ...), the installation hangs when the /dist mounted. I tried to trace the problem on boot floppy, but I do have enough time to do so. Another thing thing may related to this problem is that rlogin will also hang if something badly hapened on the network, and I kill the rlogin and try redo the rlogin, the rlogin won't start with 15-20 minutes. Very strange. I am curious what type of ethernet card you are having the problem? I am using 3Com 509B. If you are using the same type of card, maybe the problem is in the if_ep.c; otherwise, it is the NFS problem. It is appreciated if you would provide some above information.
