Hello, i recently encountered a strange problem. While trying to install FreeBSD onto my system, it would crash just before the (nice) color menu driven install screen. Crash with a panic: page fault that is. So, upon trying a bunch of things with the driver selector, i found the problem to be in the console driver. If i removed EVERYTHING except the console driver, it would still crash, but then, if i added all the stuff i needed, and left out the console driver, it would boot fine, and jump right into the menu install screen...but i couldn't use my keyboard of course.. My setup is as follows: 386 40Mhz no FPU - Desktop (NOT a laptop) 1 105MB IDE hd.. 4 MB Ram (30 pin) One regular ISA serial port, HD controller. One NE2000 ethernet card, at IRQ 9. SVGA Card (Oak 77) No mouse, one 1.44 MB Floppy, standard keyboard.
