I'm trying to install FreeBSD-2.1.0 on a HP Vectra 486VL/25 (a 486SX processor). The machine has 8MB RAM, a 120MB Quantum IDE disk, and an Intel EtherExpress 16TP network board (supported). I've downloaded the latest boot floppy and disabled almost everything in the "-c" configuration except the floppy, hard disk, ethernet board (otherwise FreeBSD mistakes the EtherExpress for a Mitsumi CD ROM ?!). Doing a "novice" install and dedicating the whole disk to FreeBSD (using a 16MB swap partition and the rest goes to "/") I select FTP as install medium. The board is configured at IRQ 10, PORT 300, IP 134.50.8.10 (pills.isu.edu), the gateway, DNS server, and netmask are set correctly (I know, I'm the net admin :-). Anyway, soon as the install procedure hits the DEBUGL init ix0....... message I get a FATAL Trap 12: Page fault in kernel mode... (Didn't write down the rest since the @%#$(@ thingy reboots at that point). Any ideas on how to make this work? Would NFS install work (doubt it, it seems to croak on the Ethernet board)? Anyway, appreciate your help, Joerg PS: This is a test for a later (much bigger) system that would replace our current NetWare 4.1 server (running Samba and NetaTalk/CAP). But if it ain't stable, I gotta go L.... :-( ============================================================ Joerg Senekowitsch, Ph.D. SysAdmin Phone: (208) 236-2627 College of Pharmacy FAX: (208) 236-4421 Idaho State University ------------------------ Pocatello, Idaho 83209 I SPEAK FOR MYSELF ! ==================== mens agitat molem =====================
