I am upgrading a FreeBSD 1.5.1.1 system to 2.0.5.  The install process
works fine, but then the system hangs during boot with the following
message:

npx0: INTERRUPT 16

The system is a Compaq 55M with 16MB RAM, 1.6 gig IDE drive, BT747 SCSI
controller, CD-ROM, and a soundblaster card.  It is an EISA system.  I
have tried pulling various cards... no luck.  BTW, the system has DOS
on the first partition and FreeBSD on the second.

Any help will be greatly appreciated,
