If you used the current CVS development branch, it is almost 100% clear that
this is the 'APC at elevated IRPL' bug which was exposed by Skywing's patch.
I removed this patch from the 0.1.4 release branch in order to install 0.1.4
properly. This patch is still part of the CVs trunk and any Installation
will surely crash until the real cause is fixed or the patch is removed.

Btw, the FreeLoader crash happens because only a part of the FreeLoader
executable (freeldr.sys) was written to the harddisk. This is _not_ a bug in
FreeLoader.
