I was in the process of dumping my linux system in favor for a FreeBSD box when it all came to an abrupt halt. I downloaded boot.flp from your site. I used normal ftp (not netscape) and ensured it was a binary transfer. I have win95 on my system (for other household inhabitants to use) and I used rawrite.exe through straight DOS. I've tried the entire process many times, and I always get this error when I try to boot from the install floppy: BIOS Basemem(639k) != RTC Basemem(640k) FATAL TRAP 12: page fault while in kernel mode Fault Virtual Address: 0xcc Fault Code: supervisor read, page not present Instructor Pointer: 0x8:0xf019e3de Code Segment: base 0x0, limit 0xfffff, type 0x1b, DPL 0, pres 1, def 321, gran 1 Processor Flags: resume, IOPL=0 Current Proc: 0() Interupt Mask: net tty bio Panic: page fault OK, here's some specs on my puter: 1. 486dx2/50, 16meg Ram, 8k l1 cache, 0k l2 cache 2. Make: Acer Model: AcerAcros model #91.41301.949 3. PS/2 mouse, on-board VGA If you need any more info, I'll do my best to supply it to you.. Please help, the future of a Linux convert hangs in the balance.. :) Thank you, Richard N. Fogle rfogle@mail.ionet.net
