Turns out since most of the floppies are ancient, so after using them in one machine, they tend to fail in the other or they just fail on the first shot. Anyhow, what occurred was that I tried to install a port and tar timed out as it couldn't read from the file. Then in an attempt to copy the port binary, the machine appeared to deadlock (although I didn't try to interrupt it), and then the machine rebooted automatically after what I believe was 30 seconds. Now, this is my first time submitting a 'bug' to this list, so instead of including information now I will submit any and all information by request in whatever form someone finds necessary. I will say though that I'm running 5.4-CURRENT on a pentium 4 with a custom kernel using bash 3.0, if that makes any difference. Thanks for your help! -Garrett
