I have just purchased a Dell 400MHz Pentium II system and I can't get FBSD 2.6.2 to install.

The following lists the hardware installed:

400MHz Pentium II 128MB RAM 6.4GB Ultra-ATA IDE hard disk (Master on primary IDE) NEC 32X CD-ROM (Master on secondary IDE) Adaptec 2940 SCSI II PCI controller (no devices attached) Diamond Fire GL video w/ 8MB Montego Turtle Beach audio 2 Intel EtherExpress Pro/100+ Ethernet PCI cards Microsoft InteliMouse (PS/2 interface)

I am trying to install from the Walnut Creek CD. I do the following:

1. Boot from FBSD 2.6.2 floppy 2. Select the full screen setup 3. Remove all unnecessary devices BTW, I can't find a driver for a NEC CD-ROM or the Intel Ethernet cards 4. Select 'Q' to quit and save

When I Quit and save the setup, it spins the floppy for about 30 seconds, accesses it a couple of times, clears the screen, and then locks up. Thinking that maybe it was timing out on a bunch of devices, I let it sit for about 30 minutes on the blank screen, but it never progressed any further.

Any ideas?
