FreeBSD 4.5-STABLE. Installed purely from boot floppy and ftp.FreeBSD.org.
I am booting from the first SCSI HD. It's one more SCSI drive installed.
Installation went w/out any problems.

Yes, "a" is the only partition. Fist slice there -- swap, second -- "/".

e sp gives: 1E (   R30) 0000000020044000
e ra gives: 1A (   R26) 0000000020000E24.

The last one as I understand is return address of the procedure that
crashed (?).

I booted the system from CDROM and than manually booted from HD -- no
problem. So only /boot/loader is a problem.

I guess the next step I will do -- will build debug version of loader
and will figure out the place in code.

Yuri.
