Yeh, I'm not running NFS on this box so we can pretty much rule that

Unfortunate so few of us running -current seem to be using IDE...(I'll await the

these since the lite2 merge without a single dump. (well, without a dump that
has to do with these random reboots at least) *sigh* this is not good.
