gentlemen, i would like to use FreeBSD. however, i encounter problems when i try to install the OS. i downloaded the floppy and image-copied it to disk. after booting with this floppy, i configuer my hardware options. after finishing this the probing starts. and then the kernel crashes with a "panic: double fault". the system goes to "syncing disks..." and nothing happens anymore. at the configure menu i only chose the console, two ide controllers and the floppy. i checked the console and the ide and they seem ok to me (are detected correctly and they use different values for addresses, irq, dma). one thing that puzzles me is, that my floppy address is at 0x3F2 (according to the win95 system info), but the configuration menu uses 0x3F0 (and this cannot be changed). however, i get the above error also when i disable the floppy (acutally i even get the error when i only chose to use the console). could you please help me with this problem and mail me, what i am doing wrong? best regards patience
