I recently downloaded from ftp.cdrom.com the version 2.2.2 of FreeBSD. I created the boot floppy by using the file stored in /floppies (and later the one that was in /floppies/newer). The problem I have is that everytime I start the boot floppy it hangs right after the message "changing root device to fd0c panic: double fault syncing disks..." I read in a FreeBSD related newsgroup that you haven't got such error in your test computers. Well, if this helps, the computer I'm trying to use is an AMD133 with 48mb of RAM, 3 H.D. IDE (the controller is included in the motherboard), CD-ROM IDE and a 3Com Etherlink PCI. I also have a Pentium 133 with 32mb of RAM, AHA2940 with two HD SCSI and CD-ROM SCSI and an Intel Etherexpress PCI. In this computer the boot floppy works without any problem (but that's not the computer where I want to install FreeBSD). I also downloaded the boot floppy included in version 2.1.7. Surprisingly it works in the AMD133. Have you come up already with some clues or hints? Thank you very much for your help. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Julian Sanchez -> julian@w-bin.com W BIN Corp.
