Hi all,
I've got a PC at home that is running Windows on one partion (@700
Megs) and FreeBSD on the other (@400 Megs). Just a few days ago, I
installed Windows NT to take the place of Windows 3.1. While I had 3.1,
FreeBSD worked fine, but now with NT, it can't boot up. When I try to boot
BSD, the ususal script goes by, but about 20 seconds into it, I get the
following error just after it says "Automatic Reboot in progress":
Fatal Trap 12:page fault while in kernel mode
fault virtual address =0x24
fault code =supervisor read, page not present
There is some more info about the instruction pointer, code
segement, etc..
I've heard that BSD has trouble running when a 32-bit OS is in the DOS
partition. I've got 16 Megs of RAM, so I don't think it's a memory problem,
but right now I'm lost.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
Ryan Cutter
