Hi, I'm a bit new new to freebsd (or unix for that matter), and I'm try =
to install version 4.4lite, and I'm receiving a panic message.=20
I have an AMD ahtlon with 64 pc100 a generic graphics card with a sis s3 =
CSET, and no cards aside from this cheapo ethernet that my cableinternet =
uses (which I am 100 percent certain is causing the problem)
The first time I installed it, it installed perfectly (with a d-link =
10/100).
I wanted to reinstall it however (yes for no particular reason) and of =
course it paniced...
the only thing that has change is the ethernet card....now I havnt =
gotten a chance to take it out yet but I know its going to work...my =
questions are these :

what does the below panic mean exactly, and where is there a database =
that lists common panics, and the exact order in which=20
things get compiled and configured during the install. Oh and if =
possible...can I configure the kernal initially somehow so that it =
doesn't panic, so I can keep my cheapo ethernet card? (even if I have to =
modify the kernels code I would still like to know)...ahh, and one more =
question (sorry) ...how can I dump panic info (during the install of =
course) to a file (or serial port) so I don't have to hand type these in =
the future?

(here it is as well as the text before it):
preloading elfkernal ...blah
probing for devices on pci bus 0 ...blah   =20
chip 0 host to pci bridge...=20
chip 1 pci to pci...=20
chip 2 pci to isa...=20
ax0: asix ax88141 10/100basetx rev 0x10int a irq 12 on pci 0,14,0
ax0: ethernet address (my mac)

Thanks for your time
