This disk had windows 95 and NT 4.0 workstation on it. The disk was reformatted using dos then dos and Win 95 were loaded into the first 200 Meg. The drive was then defragmented and partitioned with FIPS. When the machine is booted with the boot.flp it gets to 'Changing root device to fd0c' and then says: panic double fault Syincing disks... and just hangs there. The hard disk geometry it shows seems to be correct as it is the same as is found by FBSD on other identicle machines. We are totally stumped and have no idea where to even look for the problem. Please help. Thanks, Charlie Reese
