I have tried to install FreeBSD ver 2.1 but repeatedly get the following message after running the install command from the D:> prompt (which is the CD-ROM drive) and after the system is probed: rootfs is 1000 Kbyte compiled in MFS instruction pointer = 0x8:0xf017d94c code segment = base 0x0, limit 0xfffff, type 0x1b = DLP 0, pres 1, def32 1, gran 1 processor eflags = interrupt enabled, IOPL = 0 current process = 1 (sysinstall) interrupt mask = panic: unknown/reserved trap syncing disks... 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 giving up Automatic reboot in 15 seconds - press any key on the consule to abort I am assuming since the "1's" represent 20 attempts to sync the disks before FreeBSD gives up as they appear one after the other as opposed to all at once. This machine has the hidden diagnostic partition that Compaq puts on all their hard-drives, is the root of my problem?
