Any hints, links? Yes, I was googling for it, without good results. :-/ Why I need to create them: I have a problem installing FreeBSD on an old notebook (HP Omnibook 5700CT, it's a Pentium166mmx) This hardware doesn't have a cd-rom, so I use bootdisks (floppies). But when second standard disk (mfsroot.flp) finishes booting, I got: (this is from FreeBSD-5.1 bootdisk) (...) inab0: at device 1.0 on pci0 isa0: on isab0 pci0: at device 2.0 (no driver attached) cbb0: at device 3.0 on pci0 cardbus0: on cbb0 pccard0: <16-bit PCCard bus> on cbb0 Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode fault virtual address = 0xeb175 fault code = supervisor read, page not present instruction pointer = 0x8:0xc00eaf13 stack pointer = 0x10:0xc080ea1a frame pointer = 0x10:0xc080ea1c code segment = base 0x0, limit 0xfffff, type 0x1b = DPL 0, pres 1, def32 1, gram 1 processor eflags = interrupt enables, resume, IOPL = 0 current process = 0 (swapper) trap number = 12 panic: page fault Uptime: 1s Automatic reboot in 15 seconds (...) The same happens also with bootdisk-floppies from: FreeBSD-5.0, 4.8, 4.9RC2, and bunch of older versions as well. :-( Now, I would like to track it down somehow - compile with more debug things, compile most recent FreeBSD version (maybe problem was fixed), but I simply don't know how - how to create own floppy-bootdisk? (I do have more machines running FreeBSD, so I can create them there). Or maybe you have other ideas: how to avoid FreeBSD to try using pccard driver ? (maybe pccard driver is a problem here). I obviously have tried standard things: turning off power management in bios, tried different physical floppies, so they are not the problem here... Ah, maybe it's because of SVGA controller/driver (Chips & Technologies 65554 SVGA controller). Anyways, someone with a diffrent Omnibook had the same problem: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=39229 And this hardware does work with most recent OpenBSD, but I really would like to use FreeBSD on it... *sigh* So what can I do? :-( Thank you in advance. - David Calinski http://neodave.civ.pl
