I'm attempting to install FreeBSD 5.1 on a Toshiba T2100 laptop.
(That's a x486 with 8meg of RAM booting from floppies)

The kernel and MFS root are uncompressed ok, however, when booting the
kernel the boot pauses after just a few seconds, screens worth of
something is printed and the machine reboots. All this happens to
quickly for me to read most of the output. I did however read this line.

> fatal trap 12  ...

I have also attempted this install with FreeBSD 4.7. A similar reboot
occurs. No copious output is produced though.

Does any one know how to log the install process so I can debug this
further?

Does any one know what fatal trap 12 is?

Regards,
Aaron
