Maybee you can help. A little information about my system and how its configured. Im running an American Megatrend motherboard with an Intel 486dx2 50 processor. The system has 8 meg of ram, a VL-41 VGA VL-Bus video accelerator that uses the S-3 86C801/805 enhanced VGA bios and drivers. My I/O controller is a PTI-255W VL-Bus card that uses the WinBond chipset. The controller supports two floppies and the address is configured for 3F0-3F7, supports 4 IDE hard drives configures for 170-IF0 port. The serial port are COM1 address 3F8H, COM2 address 2F8H and LPT1 address 378H IRQ7 (all standard). Im using a serial mouse through COM1 IRQ4, an Intel modem through COM2 IRQ3, printer on LPT1 IRQ7, floppy disk on IRQ6, hard disk on IRQ14, and a Sound Blaster on IRQ5. I am running two hard drives slaved together off the primary port of the controller card. One is a Maxtor 540m ide as master, and the other is a Seagate 125m ide as slave. Also I am using a Sony IDE CD-Rom running on the secondary port of the controller. The maxtor 540 is my DOS disk and the Seagate 125 is formatted with dos and is empty at the moment. I would like to install FreeBSD on the second hard drive. The problem I am running into is when I boot FreeBSD from the boot floppy, it recognizes the maxtor 540 drive as wd0, but it does not find the seagate 125 drive. I would like to allocate that drive for FreeBSD only. All my BSD distributions are on the maxtor drive. BSD will boot and I get the menu, but when I go to the partioner theirs only one drive available. Any advice would greatly be appreciated, any if you require further information please let me know. -Keith S.

Still hangs and crashes. My box has been stable now that I've quit using NFS heavily. Yesterday it ran load averages of 3+ for about 8 hours straight w/out a whimper. > As I reported someone of the panics due to 'Invalid page dir' or 'page > fault while in supervisor mode' he said : RAM faults.

Ahh, I am using the faster (60ns) RAM on my box, so that may make a difference. I suspect there are still NFS bugs in FreeBSD that only occur under heavy load. Nate
