I'm trying to install FreeBSD 2.1, when I try to boot the distribution boot
floppy things proceed until I get:

...
root fs is 1000Kb compiled in MFS

Fatal trap 18:        integer divide fault while in kernel mode
instruction pointer:  0x8:0xf0197f1b
...

and the machine reboots.  My motherboard is an ASUS P54SP4 (SiS chipset),
FreeBSD 2.0 would run on this machine.  I would be grateful for any
assistance.
