Have you verified the checksum of the ISO image after you downloaded it? What happens if you don't install ports? (you can always do it later). > First i thought i could be my usb keyboard (thought i read something > like that somewhere else) but even with ps/2 devices the freeze occures. > Using an extern ftp server for installation is not possible since my > inboard 3com network interface seems to be not supported correctly. > > Any ideas? How do you know that the network card doesn't work? If you go to the emergency shell (alt-F4, IIRC) and type 'ifconfig', does it show a network interface with 'media: Ethernet'? Anyway, ftp install uses the same install program. So unless you have a suspicion that it's the CD or the atapicd driver that causes the hang instead of sysinstall, I don't think ftp install will make a difference.
