Actually this is not QUITE true.  I have a PII system that I had to
install with a normal DOS partition setup to get to boot FreeBSD (I
guess this is a known problem).  Anyway I've been running -current
systems on it and it sometimes dies under heavy loads while doing NFS.

Last week this happened when I was using the system from home and the
system did not come up again.  When I got to work I found that the
system had done the fscks on its file systems but couldn't re-mount
/dev/rsd0a read-write!

Putting /dev/sd0s1a in the fstab fixed this.  The system now recovers
gracefully from NFS-induced crashes.  :-)
