hi, all -

i have a dell latitude laptop which has run freebsd most of its life (well,
after i finished myst, anyway 8-))

the sad story (probly irrelevant):
	i think i broke the boot blocks on the hard disk

	i have tried to resurrect it repeatedly in several ways

	i can get a very old windows 3.1 to run on it (because i have a
	gateway laptop also, and used their boot disk and an old w3.1 floppy
	disk set)

when i try to boot it from the hard disk, it goes through some of the usual
bootup procedure, then stops with 'read error'

when i try to use the freebsd 2.2.7 or 2.2.5 boot floppy, it allows me to do
the setup configuration, then fails with 'panic: page fault'

?

more later,
cal@aero.org
