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 rcutter@ctgusa.com
