I was getting reboots under 3.0-RELEASE, almost always when the daily scripts run. One of these reboots was directly preceeded by some disk errors (disk and controller are new) that showed up in /var/log/messages. I haven't seen anything since a cvsup and 'make world' on Saturday, Feb 6. This may be an unrelated hardware problem, don't know yet.
