I'm getting the following when I attempt to boot the "boot" floppy:
Fatal trap 18: integer divide fault while in kernel mode
instruction pointer = 0x8:0xf0181a48
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 = 0 ()
interrupt mask =
panic: integer divide fault
hit reset please
This error apparently occurred after the boot completed probing the
devices. I was not presented with the menu that the installation
notes describe.
This is the FreeBSD 2.0 installation from Walnut Creek. (from
/.11/FreeBSD/2.0-RELEASE) I created the 3.5" floppies using the the
following commands:
dd if=boot_144.flp of=/dev/diskette bs=18b
dd if=cpio.flp of=/dev/diskette bs=18b
(This was done on a Sparc station running Solaris 2.4.)
The machine is an Intel 486DX/2-66 on a Nice EISA mother board with
the SIS chipset, vintage '92-'93.
Are the HD's relevant this early in the process? I have a Quantum 52
MB IDE, an Adaptek 1742 with a Fujitsu 520 MB SCSI (2426 I think), a
Seagate 2.1 GB SCSI, and a Wangdat 3200 4mm tape. I have only one
floppy drive. (drive A:)
I tried disabling the internal and external caches. I turned the
turbo switch off so the machine ran at 25MHz. Neither helped.
Questions:
Should I create the boot and cpio floppies from DOS instead?
Should I switch the Adaptek 1742 over to 1540 mode?
Should I use a later snapshot release of FreeBSD?
I would be grateful for any help. Thank you.
