I recently downloaded your Free BSD operating system.  Unfortunately, during the initial 
boot-up, I continually receive the same error message.  The exact error msg is:

Fatal trap 12: Page fault while in kernel mode
fault virtual address   = 0x0
fault code              = supervisor read, page not present
instruction pointer     = 0x8;0xf018c8sd
code segment            = base 0x0, limit 0xfffff, type 0x1b
			= DPL 0, pres 1, def32 1, gran 1
processor eflags        = interrupt enabled, resume, IOPL = 0
current process         = 1 (swapper)
interrupt mask          = net tty bio
panic: page fault

syncing disks... done

Any help you could provide would be most appreciated.
