I've been attempting to install FreeBSD with the latest 3.0-980218-SNAP
boot floppy, from scratch, and if I select visual mode to configure my
kernel, removing all ISA devices except fdc0, and wdc0, and removing all
network cards, and lpt1, it results in fatal trap 18. Earlier symptoms of
vm_page_free have since disappeared, though. 

changing root device to fd0c
rootfs is 1440 Kbyte compiled in MFS

Fatal trap 18: integer divide fault while in kernel mode
instruction pointer	= 0x8:0xf01af2f8
stack pointer		= 0x10:0xf03c0e64
frame pointer		= 0x10:0xf03c0e80
code segment		= base 0x0, limit 0xfffff, type 0x1b
			= DPL 0, pres 1, def32 1, gran1
processor eflags	= interrupt enabled, resume, IOPL = 0
current process	= 0 (swapper)
interrupt mask	= bio
trap number		= 18
panic: integer divide fault


However, the interesting thing is that if I SKIP kernel configuration and
launch with the default kernel, letting them bypass all those devices not
present, /stand/sysinstall starts normally. 

But not all is good, during a custom install, in fact any installation
option, results in numerous errors culminating in a failure to create the
root partition and filesystem. Switching to vty2 shows a slew of error
messages revolving around the SCSI controller, ie. sd0: SCB Abort Request
sent, or various other exception errors, and sometimes, reboots.
Ultimately, the problems got so severe, the Quantum Fireball TM could no
longer be detected _AT_ALL_, wierd noises were heard and the disk
subsequently required a low-level format performed by the SCSI controller
to restore readable track data. 

System configuration : AMD K5-PR166, Asus T2P4 (203 BIOS), Adaptec
AHA-2940AU (AIC-7860) single-channel, Quantum Fireball TM 3.2GB UltraSCSI
on ID 0, Matrox Mystique 4MB SGRAM, IDE CDROM on wdc0, 3Com 3C905 Fast
EtherLink XL on vx0, and that's about it.
