FreeBSD never "just crashes". :-) Seriously, the box either 1) rebooted spontaneously 2) Locked up / froze, becoming unresponsive for X minutes 3) entered a panic The (1) and (2) options may or may not have left you with clues in /var/log/messages. The (3) option will have printed a clue to the console and may have left a crashdump on disk if you have your box set up to take crashdumps. Without any more information to go on, all I can offer you is: 1) Check your cabling and jumpering for the new drive. 2) Remove the flags on the wdc1 controller in your kernel config. Ciao, Sheldon.
