Hi,
I hope someone can point out a way to install v4 on my machine.
Either by:
1) fixing some error(s) I am making on config or install or
2 (distant) choice) hardware replacement suggestions.
I have set of v3.1 CDs (which came with a recently purchased Complete FreeBSD 2nd ed).
This version will install properly and work. But installing v4 seemed like a better
place to start learning about FreeBSD.
When attempting to install ( with msdos, ftp or CD-ROM) v4.0 various panic situations
arise. All install methods will configure (both with and without an initial kernel config)
and start the installation (of # 9 X-User ). At various points during the install the
system panics and FreeBSD is then not bootable. try again (or boot into windows, search
and reread information on the web).
Kernel config consists of one or more of the following:
(how much of this is necessary???)
- removing non existent SCSI controllers
- removing all network cards except NE2000 and the first one (name forgotten)
- changing some/all I/O port usage to reflect win98 report
Is there anything that needs to be changed for AMD K6(2)-400?
the system runs win98 stably ( or at least as stable as win98 appears to be).
CDROM (burned from ISO image of 4.0-RELEASE)
panic: page fault
syncing disks ... 471 [repeated 20 times]
giving up on 246 buffers
uptime: 10m47s
MSDOS (4-20000520-stable, also tried 4.0-RELEASE)
from c:\freeBSD folder
panic: ffs_valloc: dup alloc

FTP (4.0-RELEASE, also tried 4-20000419-stable and 4-20000520-stable)
panic: general protection fault (I thought this only happened in windows)
syncing disks
fatal trap 9: general protection fault while in kernel mode

( I used to think my error message were 'anic:' (which made no sense), finally the
last time I noticed a dangling 'p' on the right edge of the previous line. Ahh -
'panic' (at least the word now means something), perhaps somebody could introduce a
newline before the 'p' )

attached below is system description:
disk config (8 Gb HD, <5Gb for win98, >3Gb for FreeBSD):

(any changes to this config are welcome)
