I had a similar problem.  It was related to my NE2000 network card of all
things.  It seems that my NIC was using IO address 0x300.  Apparently, one of
the Warp device drivers is hardwired to use this address as well.  Any time I
tried to run selective install, I either hung or trapped.  Solution was to
rejumper the NIC to use a different IO address.
