My computer "specs" are below - if they are useful. > Intel Pentium 133 processor This sounds like the Pentium bcopy optimization is biting you. The optimization now defaults to off in FreeBSD > 2.2.1, so if you could either set the flags on device npx0 to "1" or install 2.2.2, the problem should go away. BTW, "hardware" was the wrong list for this type of question. -DG David Greenman Core-team/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project
