well, about an hour ago I enabled softupdates on my vaio, rebooted and was
going to test how long it took to compile a kernel.  I got sidetracked
playing with usb and seeing what happened when I ran strings on the ugen0
device that my usb floppy apparently connects to, and lo and behold the
machine rebooted in the middle of the compile.  now this didn't surprise
me as I really had no business diddling the device in such a fashion, but
I was crossing my fingers to see what the fsck would look like.  not a
single error.  it just works absolutely perfectly!  :)

thank you, thank you, thank you for existing freebsd!
