I'm sorry if this has been already mentioned earlier.
I have an ISA 80486DX2-66 machine coupled with 16MBs of RAM and two
240MB HDDs. Recently I have downloaded FreeBSD 2.0-950412-SNAP
from wcarchive, rawrite'd boot.flp onto a 5.25" 1.2MB floppy disk,
and tried to boot through that floppy.
The problem is that my machine doesn't complete boot procedure.
It displays usual "changing root device to fd0c" with non-blinking cursor,
then it hangs. If I try a warm reset, it panics. (Page fault)
Is there anyone who had similar problems and/or knows the solution?
Any help would *GREATLY* appreciated.
