 Just a remark, you excluded freebsd-gnats address from your reply. That
 address keeps track of the audit trail for your bug report.
 
 The other machine that you installed 3.0 one, was it a Compaq as well?
 Was it EISA? Same NIC's?
 
 We would be very interested in hearing more of your success of failure
 using 3.2.
