>Description:
Hi,

I am trying to install FreeBSD 7.0-Beta3 in a SunBlade 100
(mem: 512MB, cpu: 500MHz), but the installation process
stalls at the "Located INDEX, now reading package data
from it..." screen.

Running top in another console shows that CPU consumption at
that screen goes slowly increasingly from a few percent to
99%. It looks like if a non-linear cost algorithm was used
to process the index.

I have tried to install a couple of times with different
package configuration (mostly all and x-user) with the same
result.

Cheers,

 - Salva
