Hi, I just purchased FreeBSD from Walnut Creek, and started to install
it.
During the installation, the machine hang (apr. 30% of all was done), no

CD-ROM not HD activity. I use Tyan 1662D dual processor ppro, single
processor
set and a Panansonic CR 584 (IDE) 12x CD-ROM. Anybody else experienced
that? I assume it's a hardware problem (or bad driver) ... not sure
where to look.

Thanks in advance for any hints.
