Have a relatives laptop getting a re-install of winxp (eew!) and I figured I would test out with FreeBSD before re-polluting it. It is a Compaq presario 700. 5.0 DP-1 gave me a trap 9 general protection fault before getting too far in the boot process ( I can give the fault message to somebody if they want it, but as this is -stable not posting it, probably not too useful any way) To the point: After the failed attempt at booting dp1, I threw in a boot floppy for 4.6.1-rc2. Booted fine, got the install going and after bin was done installing I took a look at dmesg. Low and behold, after scrolling back to the top of dmesg output on fixit shell, the fatal trap 9 message was still in the buffer! Is this some undocumented feature, or one I just missed ^_^? The machine was rebooted by pressing a key on console, so that may be part of it. On another note, during the extraction process, it just stopped twice and had the ftp server selection screen up. No error message saying timeout or anything, I select same site again and it picked up where it left off.. not sure what was going on there. Seemed like it was moving along at a good speed.
