Hello Everyone,

I am trying to install NetBSD 1.5.1 from boot floppies (boot1.fs, boot2.fs),
First disk boot1.fs loads fine, after 2nd disk is inserted (boot2.fs),
kernel hangs when it's checking for
floppy drive:

.....
fdc0    at    isa0    port    0x3f0-0x3f7    irq 6    drq 2
fd0      at    fdc0   drive 0:    1.44MB,    80 cyl, 2 head, 18 sec

And system stops responding at all. (I have waited for an hour :)
Does anyone know what could cause this problem? Any ways around it? Any
actions need to be taken? Any suggestions? Please, help.

Please cc me or send replies to mertis@ameritech.net as I am not subscribed

Thank you,
Andrei.
