It was not the motherboard's problem. It is the 2.2.2-RELEASE boot.flp bug.
The problem is very strange:

	NCR-810 SCSI controller + 3-Quantum Fireball 3.2 GB disks
causes page fault

	NCR-810 SCSI controller + 2-Quantum Fireball 3.2 GB disks
works OK.

After installation, put 3-Quantum Fireball 3.2 GB disks back on the SCSI bus,
no more page fault.

Also, the 2.2.2-RELEASE installation failed to set the hostname and all network
info. (such as ifconfig_ed1, defaultrouter etc.) into the /etc/rc.conf.

Another problem in the 2.2.2-RELEASE is that the YP (NIS) client is broken.
I remember someone reported YP server is broken. So, it looks like entire YP
is broken.

Since I cannot make a 2.2.2 machine up, therefore, I use the regular email
instead of send-pr to report all problems at this time.

Thanks,
