Maybe you guys/gals can help out............ If this question has been asked before, sorry to all. While booting my system using the 'Bootfloppy' I encountered a 'Panic' fault. The error message was 'DOUBLE FAULT'. It came after the kernel configuration screen and after it ran throught all of its device probes. The last thing it tried to do was..... changing root device to fd0c ....then it tried to sync the disks and locked up tight. I am running a Intel 133 w/48 meg ram, two IDE drive 2 and 3gig, 1 CDrom. The drives are configured in this mannor: 2gig primary master, cdrom slave and the 3gig is the secondary master. I also have both the 5.25 and 3.5 floppies. I am running Win95 and wish to install FreeBSD on the 3gig (if at all possible). I realize there might be some reconfiguring of hardware to do; however, why do I get this error before I even get to the install screens? Any Suggestions? Brady gadget@toad.net
