HI

I have just got FreeBSD 2.2.5 and am trying to install it. I have try'd
to boot from the cd-rom and floppy disk. It boots OK gets though

boot:
uncompressing kernel...done
Booting the kernel

then gives the following error:

Fatel trap9: general protection fault while in kernel mode
instruction pointer: "with lots of numbers"
stach pointer: "with lots of numbers"
framed pointer: "with lots of numbers"

and at the end of all the other pointers is an automatic rebbot.

Can someone PLEASE help me ?
