I've been a FreeBSD user since mid 95 and obtained the 2.2.2-REL boot
to upgrade from 2.2.1-REL.  This .flp image seems to malfunction with
my hardware.

Hardware:  486/66 DX/2 EISA, 48 mb ram, Adaptec 1740 controller, IDE/Floppy/
SIO controller, 1 gb IDE HD, 1.6 GB SCSI HD  (the IDE is my primary 
disk), SMC Elite Ultra NIC, ATI Mach32 EISA video card

I boot from the floppy w/ -c, set up the configuration approrpriate for my
hardware, the kernel boots after the configuration is saved, and ...

(lots of disabled hardware reported...)
zp0: disabled, not probed.
npx0: flags 0x1 on motherboard
npx0: INT 16 interface
apm0: disabled, not probed.
changing root device to fd0c
panic: double fault

syncing disks... 

(system frozen).

I tried using two boot disks generated by two different .flp images from
two different machines - I confirmed that the floppy controller was not
disabled in the visual config menu.  I'm stumped.

Thanks,
Rich
