Got a chance to check on this and booted the old aout kernel with the new boot code, let the system run for about an hour, and no strays. They should have occured within 10 minutes of booting. Nada. The system is going to be wiped once more. I may be able to duplicate the strays with a fresh install. Should they come back a newer bios can be installed, which is what fixed the stray problem from a long time back. I'll post the results, but regardless the new boot code was probably long overdue and may have "fixed" something. However, one variable that did change. The CPU was downgraded from a P166 -> P133, but that wouldn't affect the strays would it? Would have been more correct to try before the CPU swap. It was needed for a trade, which means I now have a Tyan 1662D dual-PPro 200 w/128 and can keep current... faster. 8-) Jeff Mountin - Unix Systems TCP/IP networking jeff@mountin.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
