Subject:   Trouble loading installing on my Aptiva

So I just got me a shiny new IBM Aptiva with one of them wacky Athlon
processors in it, and FreeBSD 3.x won't load on it.

Booting from the floppies in the Jan 9 -STABLE snapshot, the kern and
mfsroot floppies load fine, and the kernel configures all the devices, 
then just after the "changing root device to fd0c" message, I get the
following:


Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode
fault virtual address	= 0x24
fault code		= supervisor read, page not present
instruction pointer	= 0x8:0xc021aef4
stack pointer		= 0x10:0xc197ce90
frame pointer		= 0x10:0xc197cea4
code segment		= base 0x0, limit 0xfffff, type 0x1b
			= DPL 0, pres 1, def32 1, gran 1
processor eflags	= interrupt enabled, resume, IOPL = 0
current process		= 1 (sysinstall)
interrupt mask		= net tty bio cam
trap number		= 12
panic: page fault

I have also tried this with floppies made from the 3.3-RELEASE and
3.4-RELEASE CD's and got similiar messages (may even have been exactly 
the same but I didn't take the trouble to copy them down directly.)

Machine is a 500Mhz Athlon with 128M ram, a big honkin IDE disk and an 
Intel (fxp) ethernet board stuck in it.

Anyone have ideas?  I may play with earlier releases to try and narrow 
down if this ever woulda worked.  I'll also be happy to try out boot
floppies for someone.
