I'm trying to do a clean install of OS4.2 on a Color Slab, but after using Ctrl-C to get past the network setup, it hangs here, and Ctrl-C does not work to get past it. How do I bypass this message?
Edit: Now it doesn't even get that far, instead both the CD-ROM and the hard drive hang at "IP protocol enabled for interface en0, type "10MB Ethernet"", so I can't even get back into the installer.
Is this a turbo? Have you tried 3.3? I've seen a similar problem before and it was a nightmare to debug. After initializing the ethernet, the kernel initializes the dsp chip. The messages occur after each step completes. In my case the dsp was bad. The POST does not catch issues with this.

Have you tried this with both the network connected and disconnected?
I'm not sure if this is your problem, but booting NS/OS can be painful if the network is not configured correctly. If lookupd hangs it can lock up netinfo. I don't recall using ^C to get past this type of hang. I usually boot into single user mode and try to find the problem with /etc/hostconfig, hosts or netinfo.
Turns out it just went away after I cleaned the area around the DSP with some isopropyl alcohol, so perhaps it was a short or something caused by cap goo? I'm thinking I'll have to recap the board sometime.
