Generally it is the probe *after* this one which is hanging your
system.

Hi Cees.
Please try the idepci flavor of boot-floppies. Let us know if that
works or not. The problem is a kernel issue -- I believe you were
using the "vanilla" disk set rather than "idepci", which contains lots
of code for legacy devices, the probe for one of which is hanging your
system.
If that still does not work, please re-report where that hung. You
might try removing (temporarily) your sound card.
