Hi, I'd like to check freeBSD out (I've linux too) and got the bin and 
kernel dists installed fine. My problem though is that any time I try to 
compile something (both as root and a regular user) the machine will just 
reboot. I can't even recompile the kernel. I've disable all drivers that 
I don't need on the boot.flp and yet this still happens. A conflict I guess?
Has any one else had this problem? My machine has the following:

486dx2/80 (really an overclocked 66)
32M memory
Generic VLB EIDE controller w/three drives hanging from it
Mach32 video
Busmouse on irq 5
fdc w/two floppy drvs
NE2000 on irq 9
SB 16 on irq 10 drq 1 and 5 @0x220 and the midi @0x330
Mitsumi on irq 11 and 0x340

All this works perfectly while linux is booted. And I went more conservative
with my bios settings too (thinking it was a timing problem).

Any help appreciated.

Thanks,

Chris
