Hi,

** yesterday I want do install FreeBsd 3.4. I came to the kernel
configuration
** menue . I switch to the full screen visual mode. I get 13 conflicts. If
I
** changed an addressnumber(0x340) I could edit but not save the new value
only
** leave the window without saving.

You should just press [del] on all the items you do not have.  Keep the
IDE/ESDI controller, PS2 mouse, console, keyboard etc.......  Ignore PCI -
They're auto-detected.  Then press [q] to exit.  It should ask you to save.
Select [y].  Make sure there are no [CONF] labels up anywhere as this may
not work then.

** The partition was ok till I came to the
** Installation Medium Menue where I want to install from CD-Rom. I started
but
** it came a window with 'signal 11 was caught.' it rebooted, but at the
** message 'boot F1 Freebsd' I had no kernel. I searched in the book for
** failures and found, that the kernel found an ATAPI cdrom. Therefore I
need
** help from you. I want to change to FreeBSD because in the 3.4 is PPPoE
** included and it should be a fine UNIX.  Before I had Linux running.

This is a bug with the installation program (sysinstall).  You can solve
this by downloading new disk images (MFS Root disk) from ftp.freebsd.org.
Read the Errata.txt file in the /pub/FreeBSD/3.4-RELEASE directory and get
the new mfsroot.flp file from floppies/update.  This wont crash then :-)

Then Re-install the system.  It will also install properly and your system
will work OK out of the box (again)!

**  Prozessortyp:   Intel CPU Pentium II
**  Motherboard:    Intel AL 440 LX
**   RAM:              32 MB SDRAM 10ns
**  disk:                Quantum Bigfoot 4,3 GB
**  Foppydisk:       3,5'' Mitsumi
**  CD-ROM:         Hitachi 24 maX CD-R 8335

**  Grafikcard :      4 MB S3 Virge DX
**  Soundcard :     Yamaha OPL 3 Sound System
**  Mouse:            Mitsumi PS/2
**  Keyboard:       Mitsumi PS/2

Hardware is ok!

** Mayby you can help me. Excuse my english I am a german.

Your English is better than mine (and I'm English :-).
