I'm trying to install FreeBSD-2.1.5-release onto a Toshiba T1850 (25MHz 386SX) laptop with 4MB RAM (640k+3456k) using NFS over PLIP. Using a `Novice' install I get as far as the `Network Configuration' window with no problems. When I say `OK', the screen flips back to the `Network Interface Information required' window and says `[ Fatal signal 11 caught! I'm dead..' I have tried using boot.flp, boot4.flp and even re-building boot4.flp (an `interesting' exercise) without any change. I also get exactly the same when I use an Acer 386SX (actually a 486DX2-40) with 8MB RAM. VTY2 shows: Setting variable nfs to 139.188.23.35:/cdrom/dists Executing command `gzip ... network_device.hlp.gz ...' Command `gzip ... network_device.hlp ...' returned status code of 0 Executing command `gzip ... tcp.hlp.gz ...' Command `gzip ... tcp.hlp.gz ...' returned status code of 0 Setting variable hostname to pc640.alcatel.com.au Setting variable domainname to alcatel.com.au Setting variable ifconfig_lp0 to inet 139.188.24.25 139.188.23.35 netmask 255.255.240.0 Setting variable network_interfaces to lo0 variable network_interfaces was lo0, now lp0 lo0 Setting variable ipaddr to 139.188.24.25 Init routine called for network device lp0 [end of VTY2] I've looked at the online handbook and FAQ, Walnut Creek's `Installing and Running FreeBSD' book as well as the `NetBSD, FreeBSD, and OpenBSD FAQ' from comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.announce without finding anything helpful. Can anyone offer any assistance?
