Ive installed on Computer following devices: Novell NE2000plus configured on &300 I10 no ROM 10baseT 486/DX2-66 without 2nd lv cache 16 MB Ram ISA-bus-system No mouse keyboard VGA-Card Interface with 1*IDE,Floppy,2ser and lpt-port on standard 2 Hardrives: 1. 230 MB IDE 2. 49 MB IDE on same controller (see above) Problem: I boot the floppy and de devicewindow will come (i select full grafik display) I move out all devices without ne1000,2000,... , ser1, ser0, lpt1, floppycontroller and 1st idecontroller. than i press q and y and the screen will be clear and on the corner above in the right will it shows an static cursor. The computer now hangs completly and only resetbutton or switch off will help. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: Only if i select _all_ three mouseports the system will boot the devices if i quit. but then the installroutine of bsd (minimal installation) will start (blue download screen , i use ftp-install) and if the 76 frames are downloaded the screnn becomes black and now there will install some in /mnt/usr but it cannot install because there an error : no inodes free or so... this error comes with different spacesettings of the partitions. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: From: "Jordan K.
