Hi,
        Just got the FreeBSD 2.2 Snapshot cd and I am having problems
getting the install going.
When I boot the 2.2 boot floppy image, the normal FreeBSD installation menu
appears and, at first,
appears to behave normally.  As soon as you begin to move the cursor with
the cursor keys (after
3 to 8 key strokes) the keyboard response freezes and you are then unable
move to any selection.
        Using the <alt><F2> sequence it is possible to view the pty screen
and it reveals a message
that reads:  panic:unwire:page not in pmap.  I don't recall ever seeing this
message before and the 
problem resists a solution to the point where I am unable install this release.
        The hardware that I am using here has run FreeBSD for about a year
without any problems 
until now.  Please offer any suggestions that seem relevant.

Thanx,
John
