Dear Sirs,
I'm totally new to the FreeBSD world and I already started with a big problem! I have a COMPAQ Presario computer, with 192M of RAM, 28G HD, webcam, but I don't know certainly what kind of motherboard I have.
Well, after the installation process (4.5 version), when the system reboots it's showed a message about kernel panics, page fault, etc... I read in some documents, that i need to get the "instruction pointer" and use some commands like "grep" to use the instruction pointer value and get some output. But I don't know how to do this, because there's always an "ok shell" wich I can't get out of it.
So I have some questions:
1. What I really should do to repair that kernel panic and run FreeBSD (step by step, please!)?
2. Is there some good documentation to do this (What I mentioned above I read in a FAQ)?
3. It could be a motherboard problem (so I'll never run FreBSD on my machine)?
I hope you could help me. Thanks a lot!
Best Regards,
Rafael
