Re: can't install...No dump device defined

I'm trying to install v6.1 from a DVD bought from the FreeBSD
Mall. I'm using a very bog-standard PIII with an 80G IDE drive, 256M
RAM, Netcomm NP1100 ethernet card and GeForce II video card - no
show-stoppers there, I would have thought.
The first two times I used auto-allocation for my partition types
and got as far as commiting to my choices and starting to copy files
when I got this:

panic: page fault
Cannot dump. No dump device defined


The third time I barely got past selecting my keyboard layout
before the same thing popped up. No long message otherwise, so that's
about all I can post :(
I've had other difficulties installing XP lately. I'm beginning
to suspect my DVD burner might be dodgy. If I can't get any simple
cure for this it's off to the local swap-meet for a new one.
Please respond in group. Thanks,

problem is whatever is causing the page fault. check into your memory modules, or maybe the HD is about ready to drop. or you could be right about your dvd drive. wanna try a cdrom install or net install instead?
