I hope I'm the only one having this problem, but every time I try to do the floppy-booted install from a dos partition, I get a signal 11 right after the ports package copies to the bsd filesystem. Everything works great up to that point, then it bombs. I set up 256MB of swap , 32MB /, 30 MB /var, 3000MB /usr. I've tried this on 2 machines now: a DEC Celebris 6180 pc and a DEC 5000 pc (pentium pro and pentium2). I even tried disabling the cache, suspicious of a klunky cpu or bad memory, but the problem happened exactly the same way even though the machine was running really slow & careful. I don't know what to do; please help. thanks. Jake To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
