Installing FreeBSD - Fatal trap 12

2005-04-23 Thread nicholaserho
Hello, I am trying to install FreeBSD from floppies on a 486-DX-33, and with
the three floppies I made I cant get to the boot menu screen (with the devil)
but if I attempt to boot I get a Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernal
mode error. The same error happens if I try safe mode except my system
restart. What can I do to fix this so I can install FreeBSD?

Exact Error Message:

Fatal Trap 12: page fault while in kernal mode
fault virtual address   = 0x409b341b
falut code  = supervisor read, page not present
instuction pointer  = 0x8:0xc066c17d
stack pointer   = 0x10:0xc1021c10
frame pointer   = 0x10:0xc1021c10
code segment= base 0x0, limit 0xf, type 0x1b
= DPL 0, pres 1, def32 1, gran 1
processor eflags= resume, IOPL = 0
current process = 0 ()
trap number = 12
panic: page fault
Uptime: 1s

Any advice that you could give me would be welcome. Thank you for your time.

1.  Do you have more than 16 MB system RAM?  You need more than
16 to install versions of FreeBSD higher than 5.2.1.
2.  Try diabling PNPBIOS type options in the system's BIOS setup
tool.
3.  Make another set of floppies on new diskettes.
4.  Check the hardware compatibility list at www.freebsd.org against
the components in your system.
Hope one of these does some good.
