When I boot the 2.2 boot floppy image, the normal FreeBSD installation menu appears and, at first, appears to behave normally. As soon as you begin to move the cursor with the cursor keys (after 3 to 8 key strokes) the keyboard response freezes and you are then unable move to any selection. Using the sequence it is possible to view the pty screen and it reveals a message that reads: panic:unwire:page not in pmap. I don't recall ever seeing this message before and the problem resists a solution to the point where I am unable install this release. The hardware that I am using here has run FreeBSD for about a year without any problems until now. Please offer any suggestions that seem relevant. Thanx, John
