Dear friends!
I am trying to install FREEBSD for the first time in my life ::)
From hardware point of view I have
486 DX2 66 Mhz, 8RAM, 2 HD 340 and 540 Mb, floppy, SVGA, 2 serial ports
paralel port, IDE controller
From software I bought a CD ROM from Info Magic which among other things
has a FreeBSD (Release 1.0) directory. I read, at least I think so, all
the FAQs, readme, installation notes etc.. I created the kcopy diskette,
file system diskette, and cpio diskette. The only mysterious thing at
this part was left is : on CD ROM they have 2 subdirectories named
floppie0 and floppie1. And both contain same files - floppy images for
kcopy, file system, and cpio ( same I mean same names - I didn't cmpare
them byte by byte). I uses the first floppie0 - for my image diskettes.
Now close to the problem. When I boot from the kcopy-ah, it behaves
normal - says something, and then asks for file system floppy.
When I insert the file system floppy an hit any key the result is fast -
Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode
trap type =12, code 4
eip=ffc, cs=ffc, eflag=73f92, cr2=10fbc
current priority = fffffffff
panic : page fault
Hope you can help
