>Environment:
i386, Pentium II 400mhZ, 128 megs memory, asian clone motherboard with award bios intel chipsets. 2 Maxtor Ide Hard drives 40GB and 60GB, 1.44 floppy, 1 mitsumi ide cd-rom, Adaptec 78xx pci scsi card, connor tape drive, yamaha 16 x scsi cdrom reader/writer.

>Description:
I ftp downloaded the 5.2.1 iso images, and made a cd from them using easy cd creator. As per the instructions, I did fdimage kern.flp a: and fdimage mfsroot.flp a: on formatted disks. I put the kern disk in the machine and rebooted it loaded ok. It asked for the second disk and it started loading, then I saw the following page fault synching disks 220 220 220 220 220 220... then giving up on 84 buffers, then it said 5 seconds to reboot.

On 2 partitions I have Free BSD 4.0 which boots fine on this machine. I would like to upgrade. I tried the prior release and had the same bug.    
>How-To-Repeat:
reboot from floppies.
>Fix:
none
