The installation seamed to go fine. I rebooted for the last time in the installation, the reboot that is supposed boot to a fully functional unix, and the systems panics. I installed bin, sys, and base. The boot gets through all the device probing and then it says 'panic: init failed' Then it dumps counting down to 1 from 16 and reboots itself. The system will loop on this error if I let it. I have a 3com 3c509 ethernet card, I know it is not supported for 1.1 so I took it out hoping the panic would go away. The panic happens even with the ethernet card removed. If it helps, the machine has 16Meg of memory. I would be very thankful to anyone that could help me. -Jack dev@justice.net
