Dear Sirs,

I'm totally new to the FreeBSD = world and I=20 already started with a big problem! I have a COMPAQ Presario computer, = with 192M=20 of RAM, 28G HD, webcam, but I don't know certainly what kind of = motherboard I=20 have.

Well, after the installation = process (4.5=20 version), when the system reboots it's showed a message about kernel = panics,=20 page fault, etc... I read in some documents, that i need to get the = "instruction=20 pointer" and use some commands like "grep" to use the instruction = pointer value=20 and get some output. But I don't know how to do this, because = there's=20 always an "ok shell" wich I can't get out of it.

So I have some=20 questions:

1. What I really should do to repair that = kernel panic=20 and run FreeBSD (step by step, please!)?

2. Is there some good documentation to do this (What = I=20 mentioned above I read in a FAQ)?

3. It could be a motherboard problem (so I'll never = run FreBSD=20 on my machine)?

I hope you could help me. Thanks a lot!

Best Regards,

Rafael
