Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Sorry for the stupid questions but (I'm gonna ask it anyway) Was running dvilj2p on a dvi file when I switched over to console 2 and ran pkg_manage to put emacs (don't ask me why) on my system. As it was reading my CD for the available packages (I assume) I received the following: nca0 timed out 0/3/0 nca0 timed out 0/3/4 (or something to that affect) nca0 is the SCSI device for my ProAudioSpectrum card using Trantor T130 (sound like I really know what I'm talking about - don't be fooled!) within 5 seconds my whole system rebooted (nearly trashing my file system it seems from the boot up dialog - somethings fixed, somethings salvaged, somethings corrected) Did I commit a cardinal sin??? or did I just run into a bug??? Not critical - because I don't plan on repeating the same sequence again - but it would be interesting to find out why it did what it did. Keith Leonard keithl@gil.net
