I have created at boot floppy using boot.flp When the boot floppy boots everything works ok it gets to my adaptec 1542C section and says waiting for SCSI to settle, after a while it lists my devices (well only the first two devices) then it stops and display page fault 12 and loads of numbers and text and prints up, Reboot in 15 seconds. when the computer does reboot the keyboard is locked, and I have to physically turn-off the machine to reset the keyboard. I have tried removing all the configurations from the kernel, except the adaptec 154* drivers this still causes the same fault The machine is perfectly ok, I have been running FreeBSD on it for the last couple of years, and I installed 2.1.6 not so long ago with no problems at all, can anyone help? thanks Tarkan
