It could be the next step that is a problem, whatever comes after the CD device detection on a G3. On i386, that includes launching other processors and USB device detection. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
CD Boot to install hangs
