I tried to load FreeBSD2.0 again on the 486 that's giving me all the machine problems. The new symptom is the initial floppy loads up and makes the file system on my SCSI disk. (I'm running this on a 307 meg drive with a 200 meg dos partition. 20 meg's set for Dos and 20 for swap -- it's an 8mb machine.) The system tells me to reboot from hard disk -- all I get is a kernel load and immediate reboot w/o any warning messages or panic. Any suggestions? I'm using the 1.2 meg boot disk... I did try the 1.44 once. This is getting too strange. This disk and Adaptec 1452b ran fine on 1.1 (there's no other scsi disk except a CD and tape drive.) I'm hoping 2.0 gets rid of the 1.1.5.1 memory problems I have. If this doesn't work I'm going to try NetBSD 1.0 and then lock in to FreeBSD 1.1. (BTW -- Linux has similar problems to my FreeBSD box... on my wife's machine I get traps when compiling the 1.1.72 kernel... FreeBSD1.1.5 seems much more sensitive. I get the errors from sendmail bash, sh and just about everything. On Linux it looks like gcc's the main culpret.
