Gents,

Following this advice from Greg:

I followed the destructions at http://www.onlamp.com/ for compiling a
debugging kernel and have now been running for almost 2 1/2 hours:

# uname -srp
FreeBSD 4.6.2-RELEASE i386
# uptime
 3:08PM  up  2:23, 1 user, load averages: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00
#

Hmmm..  A watched kettle never boils ... :)

As a good friend of mine always says:
Moony's Law (counterpart to Murphy's Law):
    When demonstrating an error,
    anything which can go right, will.

Have you had any news yet David?

Regards,
Patrick O'Reilly.
