I just clean-installed a base 1.3.2 system using the non-SBC GENERIC kernel
that comes with 1.3.2, and it crashed when i attempted to mount -uw / so
that i could edit /etc/rc.conf

I'm not sure if this is my fault, but i got a panic: vm_page_alloc
and trace listed these:
_Debugger(
_panic(
_vm_page_alloc(
_vm_fault(
_trap(
faultstkadj(
_syscall(
_trap0(

what could be causing this panic?

thanks,
