I've been running my firewall on 1.4.2 on a cyrix 486 DLC-40 with 16M RAM for six 
months or so without too many problems.

I recently tried, unsuccessfully, to install 1.5 (booting from floppy, 
sets on CD) .  Everything goes normally until device creation, at 
which point there is an error:


uvm_fault (0xc2646468,0xbfefe000,0,1) -> 1
kernel: page fault trap, code=0
stopped in mknod at 0xc0251c72:mov1  0(%esi,%eax,4),%ebx


Any experience/ideas/suggestions?
