I upgraded my main system to FreeBSD 4.0-STABLE on the night (zone
EEST) between sunday and monday, using a fresh cvsup done to an empty
/usr/src (and empty /usr/sup) around 01:00. I compiled world from this
source tree that night and the resulting install works perfectly on the
main system.

When I installed from the same buildworld results to another
(older) system I experienced a spontaneous reboot a few minutes after
first boot using the new install. The system had been running FreeBSD
3.4-STABLE since February with no trouble whatsoever, with uptimes in
the order of 30 days at a time. It has been running under rather heavy
load sometimes without a hickup.

There is nothing in the system logs that would give a clue as to why it
rebooted and since the box has no monitor I didn't have a chance to see
the possible error messages on the system console.

After this one spontaneous reboot nothing out of the ordinary has
occurred on the system although it is running a few services and
actively swapping. I find this reboot quite mysterious and considering
the track record this system has hardware trouble is quite unlikely.

A detailed hardware description is available on request in case someone
wants to look deeper into this problem.
