	I say (?) because I strongly suspect that this is flaky
hardware, however after spending the afternoon installing freebsd
3.2-Stable from 9/24, then upgrading via cvsup to the most recent 3.3-RC
sources my machine crashed on reboot. I got dumps from 1 out of 7-10
boots. Here is what they looked like (copied by hand):

Loading /boot/defaults/loader.conf

int=0000000e	err=00000007	efl=00010216	eip=000052dc
eax=00000004	ebx=000095ec	ecx=00000001	edx=000095ec
esi=00025f68	edi=00094188	ebp=00093fa4	esp=00093fa4

cc=002b	ds=0033	es=0033	fs=0033	gs=0033	ss=0033

cs:eip=01 42 14 c9 c3 8d 76 00-55 89 e5 53 8b 5d 08 85
ss:esp=cc 3f 09 00 e2 7e 00 00-ec 95 00 00 01 00 00 00

	I suspect flaky hardware due to the fact that it wasn't
consistent, and I used a configuration almost identical to the other
similar boxes we have. Also the last batch of boxes from this vendor has
had some other problems.  I'm having the night guys take the box down off
the rack and reseat everything to see if that helps. If anyone has any
suggestions (assuming the box is still borked tomorrow) or something for
me to test (like ddb, etc.) just let me know.

	Boxes are Rack-mounts, Intel N440BX mb's with onboard Intel
etherexpress. This one has 128M of ram, 450 Mhz PII and a 16G IDE HD. 

Thanks,

Doug
