I'm getting a panic during installation from floppy/cdrom of FreeBSD 2.0.
It's happening right after this line:
sysinstall/stage2.c:90: TellEm("unzipping /stand/sysinstall onto hard disk");
That's the last message I get on the debug screen. Immediately after
that, I get another message, whose source I've located:
kern/vfs_bio.c:379: panic("getnewbuf: inconsistent EMPTY queue");
I get this message when I don't write-protect the boot floppy. When I
write-protect the boot floppy, the system just reboots after a pause.
I'm doing the installation on a brand new hard disk I bought just so
that I wouldn't have to fuck up my existing system, a caution I am
glad I took and unhappy that I had to.
Eric
