FreeBSD 2.1.6 installed, works like a charm with the precompiled 2.1.6 GENERIC. However the kernal only finds 64 Mb, therefore I modified the kernal config and compiled a new kernal. Booting up works fine, however when it tries to mount the / (root) filesystem, the kernal panics and reboots the machine. As the machine is at a remote location, only accessable by telnet, I cannot experiment. Also it's a production machine, so it can't be offline too long. I've got two fdisk partitions: one small for DOS, rest for FreeBSD. The FreeBSD partition is divided in three parts, /, /usr and /swap Thanks for reafing, Taco
