Hi,
I got a problem when I install freebsd, u know how to
solve it?
I try to install FreeBSD 2.2.2 using a boot flopy.
I skip the kernel config, but it cannot boot to the
install menu. it only display some config infomation
about hard drive, cdrom, sio, wd02, .. etc. then it
displays panic and the system hangs, like follows:
.
npx0: INT16 interface
apm0: disable, not probed.
changing root device to fd0c
panic: double fault

syncing disk

then it hangs, you know what's wrong?
my PC was bought in year 96.
    -Award Modular Bios V4.51PG
    -pentinum 133 MHZ
    -generic motherboard:
       MP071 intel 430 VX  ISA/PCI
   -Western Digital 1.6G : (old one)
       running win95, freebsd, dos
   -Western Digital 6.4G (brand new)
       try to install freebsd 2.2.2, but hangs.!!

I try different methods,like install with only one hard
drive, it still won't work, is this happen when the old
bios cannot regonise a 6.4G hard drive? or is it something else?

thanks, henry
