so i'm setting up a freebsd box. i've got a known good boot floppy
for 2.1.5-RELEASE, and a cobbled together system with 8 megs, a
generic IDE card and Quantum drive, a standard monochrome card,
and a NE2000 equivalent ethernet card.
problem is that every time it boots from the floppy, it gets through
decompressing the kernel and then panics and reboots. i've tried it
with a questionable 386 board with a coprocessor, and now with a known
good 486 board. with the 386, it cleared and rebooted before i could
see an error message. with the 486, it gives me this:
sor write, page not present
instruction pointer = 0x8;0xf01dda3e
code segment = base 0x0, limit 0xfffff, type 0x1b
= DPL 0, pres 1, def32 1, gran 1
processor eflags = nested task, resume, IOPL = 0
current process = 0 ()
interrupt mask = net tty bio
panic: page fault
Automatic reboot in 15 seconds - press a key on the console to abort
can anybody tell me what piece of hardware it might be gagging on?
the current cpu is an Intel 486DX2-66; the 386 was an AMD 386DX-33 with
a VLSI 387-33. both systems seem to work fine under DOS. the motherboard
is a SIS chipset with an AMI bios.
