I have decided to make the move from linux to fbsd. I made the boot
disk, and booted. I chose to skip the kernel config. The machine is
almost done booting but then all of a sudden I get "panic: integer
divide fault" and it has to reboot. This happens ALWAYS. What am I
doing wrong, and if anybody can help me get this thing set up, I would
appreciate it.

P.S. I am using EZ drive and I the kernel recognized all of my 1GB hd,
however I did not have a free partition for bsd. But I don't think
that matters because it didn't even get past the boot (after kernel
config), and it didn't copy any files. But I am writing this because
it might help.
