I am trying an installation over the net because I would like to reformat the disk and start afresh. I have everything on a FreeBSD server and I am following the installation directions as closely as possible. Everything seems to go well up to the mounting of the root and swap partitions and then the machine just sits there doing nothing. Does anyone have any ideas as to what could be happening? Thanks in advance. -- Jin Mazumdar (internet:) mazumdar@cs.fredonia.edu >>> Dept. Of Math and C.
