I installed it according to the instructions and configured X-windows, etc. Everything seemed to go Ok but when I tried to reboot, it started to load the kernel, I got the copyright message and then the following error message: Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode fault virtual address = 0xbf57e4c fault code = supervisor read, page not present . . . The machine then stops. I am using a Dell 233 MHz Pentium with 128 MB of RAM. I installed FreeBSD in a primary partition on the last 2 GB of a 4.3 GB Western Digital hard disk (disk no. 3). Can anyone help with this? -------------------------------------------------- Steven H. Zaveloff zaveloff@onr.com P.O.
