Dear sirs, This last weekend our office experienced a power failure. On coming to work in the morning two of our FreeBSD machines were down two others we up. On the ones that were down the file '/kernel' was missing. Getting them back up was no problem since there were /kernel.old files still available. (Re-compiling the kernel was no problem. Everything is fine now.) Have other people reported similar problems? Are there any steps that I can take to reduce the likelihood of this sort of event occurring in the future? Any idea why a /kernel file should simply be gone? For what it's worth, the two (Debian) Linux boxes we use came through unscathed. Ralph P.
