Here is sample output from console: First diskette goes OK: _____________________________________ /boot config: -P Keyboard: yes BTX Loader 1.00 BTX version is 1.01 Console: internal video/keyboard BIOS drive A: is disk0 BIOS drive C: is disk1 FreeBSD/i386 bootstrap loader Revision 0.7 640/64512 kB (jkh@highwing.cdrom.com, Tue Dec 28 21:11:19 GMT 1999) /kernel text=0x19e6fb data=0x1cf10+0x2006c syms=[0x4+0x25ef0+0x4+0x2619c] Please insert MFS root floppy and press enter ____________________________ Here after some rotations of [/] system crashes with following output: ____________________________ Hit [Enter] to boot immediately or any other key for command prompt Booting [kernel] Fatal trap 12 page fault while in kernel mode ____________________________ there are also addresses and maybe CPU registers, but system reboots within 15 seconds, so I was unable to write them On the same machine successfully runs Windows 98, Windows NT 4 Server SP6, Windows 2000 beta3, Red Hat Linux 6.0, FreeBSD 3.3. These Operating Systems are installed on different HDDs FreeBSD 3.4 installation attempt is on empty HDD. Is there any code on MFS root floppy which requires Pentium so my 486 crashes? Or there is some other problem? Thank you in advance! Lyubomir Russev.
