I inserted the Installation Boot CD (1) into the IDE CD-ROM and booted from it. Then in the kernel configuration menu, I choose "Start kernel configuration in Visual Mode" as instructed (this is the first time I try to install FreeBSD). After this, I select the following devices: Storage: Floppy disk controller Matsushita/Panasonic/Creative CD-ROM (I do not know what CD-ROM the machine which was assembled in parts has. It is said to be an IDE CD-ROM. Maybe I should choose Mitsumi CD-ROM or sony CD-ROM) IDE/ESDI/MFM/disk controller IDE/ESDI/MFM/disk controller (I do not know why there are two duplicate entries. I guess it is harmless to have more than one drivers for the same device) Network: DEC Etherworks 2 and 3 Ethernet adapters (The machine has a DEC tulip TCP/IP card) Communications: 8250/16450/16550 serial port 8250/16450/16550 serial port (I guess they are needed for keyboard and mouse) Input: PS/2 Mouse CONF Syscnos console driver CONF (The installation tutorial says these two conflicts are normal) Now the top of the configuration screen shows only two conflicts that are said to be normal. So I press a key to save and exit. Now I get: Fatal trap 12 - page fault while in kernel mode. ..... ..... Reboot in 15 seconds I tried the process again. The only difference I made is to input -C at the option: prompt to indicate CD-ROM. But I got the same result. I believe the installation should be hassle free. Please point out the errors I have made. Thanks a lot. -------------------------------------------------- | Zhihui Zhang, http://cs.binghamton.edu/~zzhang | | Dept. of Computer Science, SUNY at Binghamton | -------------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
