I'm trying to install NetBSD 1.1 on a HP Vectra VL with a 3com 
3C509-COMBO network card. The problem I'm getting is that the 
computer just locks up. I've tried several times now and it locks
up at different stages of the install process every time. The
furthest I've got is half way through an 'Extract' of base11.

Has anyone got any ideas? I'm sorry if I'm being vague, its because I
don't quite know what information is relevant.

TIA,

Nick
