I ran FreeBSD 2.0R without any problems and got my new 2.0.5R-CD
a few days ago. During the install procedure I always got a:

Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode
Fault virtual address: 0xefe2da1c
fault code = supervisor read, page not present
instruction pointer = 0x8:0xf0174ff2
code segment = base 0x0, limit 0xffffh, type 0x1b
             = DPL 0, pres 1, def 32 1, gran 1
processor eflags = interrupt enabled, resume, IOPL = 0
current process = 49 (cpio)
interrupt mask =

It seems to be always the cpio that hangs up. I looked using the "-c"-
Option what was identified. I reconfigured my ATI Graphics Card to
more primitive modes and finally tries to install from a DOS
partition. Always the same result (perhaps the PID changes).

Any good ideas ?
