OK: i set up all the stuff that the boot comes up with to get rid of conflicts, then go into the installation process. using either novice or custom, i set up for : install from dos partition (c: where the stuff is in freebsd/bin) to d: install boot-manager < i am also using win 95 on c: > it sets up the drive and copies all the stuff from the bin dir then it says 'saving any boot -c changes to new kernel' and freezes when i press ctrl-c to abort, i see the message 'signal 11 caught:thats bad!' filling the screen, then the computer reboots. It seems fine up until that saving message - any ideas/suggestions ? M. Lucas lucas@hal9000.net.au
