8.1-Current installation panic

[Hayer, Sukhjinder]

Marcel,
Thanks for your reply. But I really don't want to  turn off the SMP. Since I will
Be debugging a problem which happens on a mutiprocessor platform . So if the SMP is disabled
I may not the exact same behavior . Is there any other possible fix for this.

Thanks

Interrupt the boot and set the following variable at the loader prompt:
	set kern.smp.disabled=1

This disables SMP and should prevent the panic. In the mean time, I'll look into it.
