Anyways, here is the description of the problem: I have a MAGUS motherboard model# S486-66 with 16M ram. When I boot FreeBSD on it it reaches the :- prompt ok. Just after it is finished saying text=<0xXXXXX> data=<0xXXXXX> bss=<0xXXXXXX> it reboots! The process will then repeat ad nauseam. Is this a common way fro FreeBSD to fail on bootup? Does anyone have any idea what is happening? Please help, or I will have to keep running this on my 386-33 while my 486 sits idle. :-( I already tried changing my brain dead Phoenix (falls back into the ashes) Bios to AMI. No difference!
