    I have a FreeBSD 4.1 system, which I am trying to upgrade to 4.8-RELEASE.

    Unfortunately, it can't boot from the 4.8 distribution CD. When the
    generic kernel boots, it hangs indefinitely after finding plip0.

    I have also tried the 4.3 and 4.7 CDs, the same thing happens with them.
    So something changed betweek 4.1 and 4.3 (I don't have a 4.2 CD to try).
    Anybody have any ideas?

    Here is dmesg output, on the system as booted with 4.1-RELEASE:
