Everytime I go to install FreeBSD (all versions except 3.0 SNAP) on my
486 DX2-50 with 16MB RAM and a 1GB HD, it first tries to sync disks,
then it says "kernel panic: integer divide fault" and it says it will
reboot in 15 seconds.  Since it has this error when it tries to sync
disks, I suspect it is the EZ-DRIVE software on my HD (EZ-DRIVE
enables my IDE controller to handle drives greater than 528MB)
conflicts with this.  Can anybody reccomend a patch or fix of some
sort.  I really do wish to run FreeBSD on my computer, and I do not
want to wait until v3.0.
