The floppy boots fine on other computers without a kernel panic, so it's not due to a bad image. Using -c at the boot: prompt didn't work as suggested in the web documentation, it simply locked up without ever getting to the configuration menu, giving the same kernel panic. The 2.1.7.1 Release boots without a kernel panic. I wish I could give you more information so you could find the exact nature of the problem, as it's somewhat hardware specific, but also kernel specific. If a pause/scroll-lock feature could be built into the boot sequence or without the 15 second reboot, that would help. -Jeff jgerber@sitta.uwstout.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
