we had a test core2due/1.8G tyan machine running 1.2rc3 which upgraded
without a hitch, however, we wanted to use it for something else, so it
got wiped. we then tried to install 1.2rc4, booted fine from cdrom,
chose option99 (no network cables being plugged in) and the screen
turned blue with a top grey bar saying "F10 to refresh" and a bar at the
bottom saying "Waiting for backed".

waited and waited, went away to do something more interesting nothing
happened for a couple of hours.

now, the machine had previously been set up with mirrored disks on
freebsd, so I booted a rescue disk and zeroed the whole disk to ensure
the system was clean.

tried again and still the same problem.

so, tried a different machine, a supermicro core2duo which had been
through the same process, as it was to be the backup firewall for the
above, same problem.

any ideas what to look for?


thanks
Paul
