On the machine I am : trying to install on, it seems to just hang trying to resolv the name of : the ftp site. Looking in the other virtual console, we see a message : like 'ed0: device timeout' or somesuch repeated several times. device timeout would suggest ed0 has not initialized correctly, check its irq,iomem and port. as it is trying to resolv the name of your ftp site you should be able to ping it from another host on your net - a good way to ensure ed0 is working. also remember the '-c' option at the initial 'boot:' prompt to change ed0's irq etc. cheers
