I just got a new Gateway Pentium III 450 out of the box and tried to install FreeBSD on it. I tried to boot from the installer CD but couldn't (I made sure that the computer was set to boot from the CD-ROM drive first). So I made some boot floppies and preceeded to install. Whenever the installer gets to the point where it actually tries to read info off of the CD-ROM, I get a Signal 11 error and the installer forces me to reboot. I've hit altF4 to watch what is going on behind the scenes, and it looks like I get the Signal 11 error when the installer tries to load the ISO 966 Rockridge extensions so it can read from the CD-ROM.  Have you heard of this before? What can I do?
