I'm trying to install FreeBSD 3.2-RELEASE onto a Gateway Pentium Pro box with 128M of RAM, an Adapted 2940 PCI SCSI controller, and an S3V video card. I'm installing onto a separate partition on a drive already containing NT, and which uses System Commander (I've tried this configuration before with 2.2.8 with no problems). I configure the kernel, partition the drive, label the partitions, and do a custom installation. Everything seems to go well until it comes to decompressing the ports packages, which causes a lot of disk activity, during which the machine just reboots, leaving me with an invalid installation (no kernel for one thing). Is this a known problem? Is there a workaround? Thanks. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
