Install server is a P5-120 w/ AHA2940, 4X CDROM with 2.2.1-RELEASE
CD, Dec 21x4x 10 mbps half duplex. Running 2.2.1-RELEASE
Install client was a P5-133 w/ IDE, 3c590.
After starting to fetch bin, the install program would hang about 10%
in. It did so repeatedly at the same spot. The machine was still
pingable, numlock still worked, but alt-Fx did nothing, and it
stopped fetching any data.
Using (nonanonymous) ftp and a symlink worked just fine. NFS mounting
the cd on the freshly installed system and doing a find cp {} /dev/null
worked just fine.
There was no indication of any failure or problem on the server side.
