Hello.

I have a Pentium class system with 8 megs or RAM and am running
FreeBSD 2.1.0.  Currently I am using the generic kernal that came with
the distribution.  When I try to run config to create a new kernal, it
always quits on signal 11 (memory segmentation fault).  It doesn't
matter what kernal I try to compile (LINT or GENERIC).  I also tried
doing this under the single-user mode and it still doesn't work.

Does anyone know what is going wrong and how I might solve this
problem.  

Thanks

-- Eric
