Since then my system has been through some changes and it's now a P2-266 128MB with a 6.4G IDE drive (still has the 1G SCSI). So I wanted to move FreeBSD over to the second slice on the IDE drive (the first is FAT32 with Win95). So I partitioned up wd0s2 with disklabel, newfs and used dump and restore to move everything across. However now I get the following message at boot time... panic: vm_fault: fault on nofault entry, addr: f2e3c000 This occurs just after fsck reports that all disks are clean. I then get the syncing disks message with reducing numbers that reduce to 3 (which gets repeated many time) before the system reboots. I can boot up in single user mode and mount all my filesystem so I can do things like rebuilding kernels and stuff. However it doesn't boot to multiuser mode at all. So I tried doing a clean install to wd0 from the 2.2.5-RELEASE CD. The system now boots correctly from wd0 with 2.2.5-RELEASE. So I tried newfs'ing the partitions and moving everything across again and I still get the same panic. So is there anyway I can trace this, i.e. how would I convert f2e3c000 to something meaningful. Can I enable tracing of the rc file as it starts command (I guess one command is going to be trigger the problem). P.S. I originally had trouble putting the disklabel on the wd0 drive as it was complaining about all types of IOCTL errors. But once I rebooted disklabel reported that the label was in fact written, and I got no errors after that when editing it. Actually I have found this to be a common problem when labeling new disks, spent hours trying to get a label onto a ZIP disk. Only after I stumbled on a certain slice configuration would disklabel stop giving me "no space" errors. P.S. One strange thing about the boot manager program. With the 2nd SCSI disk (the FreeBSD sd1 disk) connected I get "F1 = ???" (FAT32 I guess) and "F2 BSD" (which is the IDE partition). However when I remove the 2nd SCSI disk I get a third option "F3 disk 2" appearing. I have a FAT16 SCSI disk (sd0) which I use for building ISO images for CD burning.
