I have recently recieved the BSD CD's from Walnut Creek(v.2.2.2) and I have been having some trouble installing the OS. I'll try to make this brief... I'm using the boot floppy to install the program, I get to the Kernel configuration part (and I know nothing about UNIX-like OS's so I choose the Visual mode configuration) I try to choose the devices that I have attached to my system, although that part of the configuration seems not to matter to my problem, well, anyway when I'm done with that I continue It throws a lot of jibberish on the screen (which, thru extensive reading, I'm begining to understand) I see information about my NIC and my HDD's floppy drive, ETC... Then I see a line that says something about switching root device to Fd0c(which I assume to be the floppy drive), then it says PANIC: Double Fault Syncing Disks... What's the problem, when I try to run the install program under DOS directly off the CD it says something like npx0: INT 16 Interface PANIC: Double Fault Syncing Disks... This is as far as I can get... I have tried changing my hardware configuration and I think I have narrowed the problem to my MLB but its brand new, and the only one I have that will work for my purposses, but when I change the MLB and Processor things work fine (except for the fact that I can't get it to see my CD-ROM, but that another headache!)any help you can give would be great!! Thanks, Silent Bob
