I updated to 3.1-Stable (3/05/99) so I am not confusing an earlier bug with
the reboots I'm currently experiencing.
(which may be my problem: that I was just not up to date and reboots were
due to a heavy load related bug)

I have set:

config   kernel root on da0 dumps on da0
options DDB
options DDB_UNATTENDED

in the kernel

Typically unexplained reboots take up to 6-7 days and can occur as often as
twice a day!

But no reboot yet (2 days)!

Greg
