At this point, I can report full success in getting FreeBSD 3.3-R installed on this machine, with the full @g of physical memory. It would seem that the issue was a bad install lfoppty, but I don't see how, as both disks' compressed kernels were able to boot, uncompress the kernels, and start loading. _That_ was when the the icky trap was happening. Were the boot floppy images updated during the last couple of weeks? -- Brian 'you Bastard' Reichert reichert@numachi.com 37 Crystal Ave. #303 Daytime number: (781) 899-7484 x704 Derry NH 03038-1713 USA Intel architecture: the left-hand path To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
