Hi. I've read just about the whole Handbook and FAQ and Install
instructions and still can't figure out my problem.
This is prolly a local problem, but I'm trying to install
2.1.0-102695-SNAP and many of the progs in stand/ core
dump making the install impossible. The get signal 11 and
core dump with a "Memory Fault" message. It's wierd but
this only seems to be the behaviour after the root image is
copied and decompressed. It's doing an FTP install and gets
the root image ok, so ifconfig must have worked, but after
that ifconfig, gunzip and others core dump. Ping works ok
though. I verified all this on the ALT-F4 screen.
It's on a 486 DX4-100 (AMD I think). 32 MB mem. PCI motherboard.
AHA-2940 SCSI. I haven't tried disabling L2 cache anything yet.
Seems alot of PC-UNIXes have trouble with L2 cache. Could that help?
Also, should I be getting 2.0.5-RELEASE instead? I got the boot disk
from the the FreeBSD-stable/ dir on ftp.freebsd.org.
Thanks for your time.
