Yet another little update, now it fails with the exact same panic during the actual install process, sysinstall recieves a signal 11 and poof...away it goes. The only documentation i've found is an old mail that says that "panic: double fault" was an known error back in FreeBSD 2.2.2, occuring when a user had 48 megs of RAM installed... I have 512, it shouldn't have anything at all to do with eachother, this I'm sure of. -- Yet another sleepless night..
