I'm trying to install FreeBSD onto a 486DX4-100 on a 
machine at work.  When I insert the boot disk with the 
installation kernel in the machine, it gets to the boot prompt 
but as soon as the kernel starts to load the machine does a hard 
reset.  Anybody have any idea's why?  I tried useing (-c) to 
config the kernel just in case the nick card was complaining or 
causing me grief but it wasn't.  Any suggestions would be 
appreciated.

		Thnx in advance.

	BTW Please post your replies as I don't have a current 
Email address.
