Subject: HELP: Fatal trap 25 during FreeBSD install!

     I am trying to install FreeBSD v.1.0 and I get the following during 
install:

Fatal trap 25: invalid TSS fault while in kernel mode
trap type = 25, code = fe130000
    eip = fe0517a5, cs = fdbf0008, eflags = 3282, cr2 = 0, current -
  priority = ffffffff

panic: invalid TSS fault
press reset


     This happens right after I try to load the filesystem disk.  (I am 
using kcopy_ah to boot, which seems to go okay.)

     My system is a 486/66 on a VEGA motherboard with AMI BIOS and the 
Symphony HaydnII chipset.  I also have:

               - 8Mb RAM
               - 256K L2 cache 
               - STB Lightwave VLB video card
               - Gravis Ultrasound card
               - ProAudio Spectrum 16
               - cheap IDE card running my floppies and 212Mb hard drive
               - GSI32 controller running WD 1.06Gb and WD 540Mb drives.
               - Toshiba 3401 CD-ROM on PAS16
               - Colorado Jumbo 250 tape backup on floppy controller

     What I want to do (after solving the trap error of course) is to 
install FreeBSD on my second hard drive in an extended partition.  Is 
this possible?  

     My drives are configured:

          Drive 1:  Partition 1 - OS/2 Boot Manager
                    Partition 2 - DOS 5.0 (Primary)
                    Partition 3 - DOS 5.0 (Primary - I have my reasons ;) )
                  
          Drive 2:  Partition 1 - DOS (Primary)
                    Partition 2 - HPFS for OS/2 (extended)
                    Partition 3 - Where I want FreeBSD (preferably extended)
 
          Drive 3:  Partition 1 - DOS (Primary)

     I would like to install FreeBSD on Drive 2 in the last partition and 
use Boot Manager to start it.  Any and all help getting these problems 
solved will be greatly appreciated.

                                                    Mike
