Seems to do the trick: misaligned mbuf in ip_input misaligned mbuf in ip_input misaligned mbuf in ip_input misaligned mbuf in ip_input It causes 'ntpdate -d' to just not work rather than panic the machine. Most everything seems to work okay, except I get this whenever I login: Feb 20 17:20:18 modena login: chmod(/dev/ttyp0): Operation not supported And the machine is of course slow, especially since it is netbooted. Is there any way to configure swap over NFS? Perhaps vnconfig a NFS-mounted file and then swap on that device? :) Ken -- Kenneth Merry ken@kdm.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
