I had the same problem with FreeBSD 2.1.0-RELEASE. It was so severe that I was unable to install from floppies (yeah, I know, pretty low-tech) to a Pentium 133 machine. After installing from the network, I found that the problem disappeared after I increased the loop count in from 100000 to 500000 in the floppy driver polling loops. My guess is that your machine is too fast. _____ Larry
