Hi Joseph,

This can usually occur if your power
supply is faulty. During AC drop, if
the unit's retention mechanism is not
doing its job correctly, a reboot is
possible.

You should either try replacing your
power supply or have a qualified
technician examine yours for you.

If it's a kernel panic, you can
use dumpon and savecore to obtain
a crash dump of the system, then
you can do some debugging by
backtracing the image you get.
The handbook discusses this in
detail and also recommends using
a debug kernel to do this. Then
it's relatively trivial to 
hack around a bit and thrash
together a patch for the problem.
Just toy around a little and
see what you come up with.

Greetings,
I am wondering why my FreeBSD box keeps rebooting like every 12 hours or so.
It is annoying any and all help appreciated.
Jae
