I think my machine might have some hardware which is not recognized by FreeBSD 4.10. I tried to install on other machine from CD and it was installing perfectly. So, I gave up with 4.10 and downloaded 5.2.1 and installed on the same machine, good news is, it installed perfectly. Thanks to you guys for great support. I may need your help again when installing mail toaster on it.

I don't know why you are getting that. Are you attempting to bootfrom the install CD at that point or from hard disk or something else? You shouldn't see a page fault if you are booting from the CD. > I am not getting Sysinstall menu. I don't know why it says to reboot. Yup. You are not getting that far. You are getting a page fault before then. Anyway, please give some more complete information on what steps you have taken and what you have done to get to the point you are seeing the page fault - what you are booting from, if you have selected anything, etc. The fragmentary information you keep giving is not helping. It is not possible to guess what you have done or where you are at. ////jerry > Thanks. > Bawan > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Steve Bertrand [mailto:iaccounts@ibctech.ca] > Sent: Thursday, July 15, 2004 11:24 AM > To: Bawan > Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org > Subject: RE: problem while installing FreeBSD > > > > > I tried with options Start kernel configuration and Skip Kernel > > Configuration and have same result.
