It was not the motherboard's problem. It is the 2.2.2-RELEASE boot.flp bug. The problem is very strange: NCR-810 SCSI controller + 3-Quantum Fireball 3.2 GB disks causes page fault NCR-810 SCSI controller + 2-Quantum Fireball 3.2 GB disks works OK. After installation, put 3-Quantum Fireball 3.2 GB disks back on the SCSI bus, no more page fault. Also, the 2.2.2-RELEASE installation failed to set the hostname and all network info. (such as ifconfig_ed1, defaultrouter etc.) into the /etc/rc.conf. Another problem in the 2.2.2-RELEASE is that the YP (NIS) client is broken. I remember someone reported YP server is broken. So, it looks like entire YP is broken. Since I cannot make a 2.2.2 machine up, therefore, I use the regular email instead of send-pr to report all problems at this time. Thanks, -Jin
