More information about the problem I'm having (was Installation locks up)
Thought this bit of extra information might be helpful. I've noticed that on some attempts it gets past the point where it is copying the base system and then proceeds with the stage where it's copying GENERIC to /boot, gets to 12% and then freezes up. What is wrong with this? Something wrong with the computer? A bug in the software? How can I find out what is causing the trouble I am having? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you. mike3 wrote: Hi. I was attempting to install FreeBSD 7.0 on a Sun computer (Sun Blade 100 with 500MHz UltraSPARC IIe CPU). It seems to be having trouble though. When it gets done (100%) copying the base system to / (the first part of the install), it freezes up cold (I can't even ALT-F4 to teh emergency console session.) What's wrong?

4.10-RELEASE Installation Locks Up
Hello, I've been having a problem installing FreeBSD 4.10-RELEASE on an old Acer Aspire (120 MHz Pentium processor, 80 MB RAM) using a network install via FTP, and I've had it lock up (can't switch from standard view to the debug view or the holographic shell) with the hard drive light staying on multiple times. I turned on the debug mode in sysinstall and it's happened twice when it's been trying to do this: cp -p /kernel.GENERIC /kernel I also know that the cable on the first IDE controller has had some of its shielding scraped off from brushing against the top of the chasis, but it still looks intact. On the first IDE controller is a Quantum 2550 MB hard drive as the master and a generic CD-ROM drive as the slave. The Quantum hard drive is getting the root partition as well as a swap partition and the /tmp directory. The other IDE controller has a Western Digital 6448.6 MB hard drive and nothing else on it. The WD drive is getting the /var and /usr partitions as well as a swap partition. Is there anything I can do to fix this problem? How likely is it that the less-than-perfect IDE cable is causing this problem? If I can't solve this problem (with your help, of course), how can I work around it? I'm subscribed to the list and am getting it in digest form, so I'll get your replies either way, though I'll get them faster if you send them to me directly.
