>Originator:     Dave Gilbert
>Release:        2.2-Beta
>Organization:
The University of Manchester
>Environment:
As on the 2.2-Beta boot floppy
>Description:
Trying to install FreeBSD for the first time; installing over the net
using NFS from src.doc.ic.ac.uk, doing a full binary install with all the
security options.  It installs bin etc. etc. and gives an
information message something along the lines of
'updating kernel params with -c ...'
and then panics with a message along the lines of 'panic: can't do anything without my init'
(I can get the exact text I think..if it really is a problem).

>How-To-Repeat:
Its repeatable - did it two or three times, including after configuring
the kernel with only needed devices.
(The machine was installing onto EIDE on a Triton HX motherboard with
64MB of RAM; the machine also had an Adaptec 2940UW (no devices attached)
and was sucking data over an NE2000 netcard.
