Hi,
	I'm looking for some general newbie-to-freebsd-but-not-UNIX
instructions on how to troublshoot silent reboots. FreeBSD 4.2 - 4.4

	They are happening quite frequently on production machines and it
is very embarrasing. How do I convince the kernel to dump core (and 
where do I find it when it happens)? Where can I locate people capable of
analyzing said cores?

	All the usual stuff.

Thanks,
Paul
