Reply-To: Rob.deFriesse@cadre.com Organization: Cadre Technologies Inc. Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk 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. -- Rob deFriesse Mail: Rob.deFriesse@cadre.com Cadre Technologies Inc. Phone: (401) 351-5950 222 Richmond St. Fax: (401) 455-6800 Providence, RI 02903
