I am attempting to install freebsd on an older platform. It is a homebuilt
conglomeration of a 486dx-33 isa m/b with 4 megs, a tseng labs et4000 video
card and a 120meg hd with about 35 megs of data on a dos partition. the
boot.flp runs what appears to be a successful probe of the system (although
I think it gets the HD geometry wrong) the crashes after the line
Rootfs is 100 KByte compiled in MFS
by saying
Fatal trap 12 = page fault while in Kernel mode
fault virtual address = 0x0
fault code = Supervisor read, page not present
Instruction pointer =0x8:0xf01820
code segment =base 0x0, limit 0xfffff, type 0x1b
= DPL 0, pres 1, def32 1, gran 1
Processor EFlags = interrupt enabled, resume, IOPL=0
current process = 1 (swapper)
interrupt Mask =net tty bio
Pamc : page fault
syncing disks... done
I have tried changing virtually all of the bios settings that could possibly
apply (I can send a list) and eliminated all of the installable probes in
the boot -c option. Why isn't it working
It was able to work on my 486-120 VLB system with no problems.. unfortunatly
I don't want it installed on that system..
Any advice you can give would be appreciated.. thanks
