>Number: 2450 >Category: kern >Synopsis: 2.2-Beta installation panics >Confidential: no >Severity: critical >Priority: high >Responsible: freebsd-bugs >State: open >Class: sw-bug >Submitter-Id: current-users >Arrival-Date: Sat Jan 11 12:40:01 PST 1997 >Last-Modified: >Originator: Dave Gilbert >Organization: The University of Manchester >Release: 2.2-Beta >Environment: As on the 2.2-Beta boot floppy >Description: Trying to install FreeBSD for the first time; installing over the net using NFS from src.doc.ic.ac.uk, doing a full binary install with all the security options. It installs bin etc. etc. and gives an information message something along the lines of 'updating kernel params with -c ...' and then panics with a message along the lines of 'panic: can't do anything without my init' (I can get the exact text I think..if it really is a problem). >How-To-Repeat: Its repeatable - did it two or three times, including after configuring the kernel with only needed devices. (The machine was installing onto EIDE on a Triton HX motherboard with 64MB of RAM; the machine also had an Adaptec 2940UW (no devices attached) and was sucking data over an NE2000 netcard. >Fix: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
