Which version of FreeBSD?  In 5.x, I was sometimes getting lockups,
though the reset button would work.  

Is it a custom kernel, and if so, are you using SCHED_ULE?  (That has
had a few problems as well.)

Lastly, both fxp and en network card drivers were both having problems
at one point, fixed now, I believe.  (I have an fxp driver on 6.x--I
haven't had this type of problem since upgrading.)

6.x is also snappier, (IMO, subjective only, no benchmarks) and it's
worth upgrading if possble.

thought, 'Hey, what's with all the sin.' I need to change. I'm 
dirty, I'm bad with the sex, and the envy, and the loud music us 
kids listen to nowadays. Oh, I just suck at undercover.
