Configuration:

	486 33Mz with 16 meg ram (no name mother board)
	WD 2340 IDE drive with no name controller
	WD Elite-16 SMD ethernet at IRQ 2 IO 280 and share ram DC000

Symtoms:

	When copying from NFS filesystem to a local disk system will
	just hang.  

	If I do a tar -cf - foo | rsh 386bsd '(cd foodir;tar -xvf -)'

	everything works fine.  

	The system has three partitions a which is 26400 512 blocks,
	g which is 607180 block and swap of 33000 blocks.

	The hangs did seem to start happen after I repartitioned.

Any ideas?
