I am trying to install FreeBSD 4.2-RELEASE on the following hardware:

MB: Hsing Tech (PCChips) 486 VIP v3.2
BIOS: AMI 11/8/1995
CPU: TI486DX4-100
Video: Cirrus Logic 5434 based
Net: Realtek 8139 based
HD: 600M IDE
RAM: 32M

I get to the point where it says to press ENTER to boot the kernel.  Once
the kernel starts to load, I get the following:

Booting [kernel]...

Fatal trap 1: privileged instruction fault while in kernel mode
instruction pointer     = 0x8:0xc02d6afc
stack pointer           = 0x10:0xc0671ebc
frame pointer           = 0x10:0xc0671ec4
code segment            = base 0x0, limit 0xfffff, type 0x1b
                        = DPL 0, pres 1, def32 1, gran 1
processor eflags        = interrupt enabled, resume, IOPL = 0
current process         = Idle
trap number             = 1
panic: privileged instruction fault
Uptime: 0s

I have downloaded the kernel.flp and mfsroot.flp disks twice and have written
them to two different sets of error free disks.  I have also tried the 4.1.1
install floppies with the same results.  I have swapped the RAM, CPU,
motherboard and HD with identical equipment.  I have tried switching the video
to an STB Velocity 128 card and booting without the network interface.  In each
case I get the same behavior.

As another test, I was able to successfully install RedHat 6.2 on the hardware.

Any ideas on how I can get FreeBSD on this box?

Thanks,
