The BOOT from the BOOT.FLP floppy procedure goes along pretty well until it gets to load the sysinstall and gets the message. "Panic: page fault". After this all it will allow me to do is press a key and reboot(or wait 15 seconds and it does it by itself). My PC(nothing special): 386DX-33MHZ with 4 Mbytes of memory. 698MB Quantum Lightning ATA drive. 2 serial ports, 1 parallel port. It does have a LCD screen(VGA) that is part of the "lunch box portable" enclosure screen. I don't think that the screen is the problem because it doesn't seem to have problems displaying messages & text. The FreeBSD files I got: 1 floppy with boot.flp(done with rawrite.exe). 1 floppy with root.flp(done with rawrite.exe). c:\freebsd\floppies boot.flp root.flp c:\freebsd\bin all the bin.xx from the FTP site(bin.aa to bin.cp). 16Mbytes worth c:\freebsd\tools all the tools from the FTP site Am I missing something? What does "page fault" mean? Is there more FAQ or docs that descript errors or panics? Regards.(& HELP!) Kimito
