Greetings,

	I have encountered similiar problems with fbsd 2.1 after I
	have upgraded from fbsd 2.0.5. The system crashed during 
	heavy load. I am using NMBCLUSTER=2048. The system disk
	got trashed and couldn't be rebooted. It worked fine
	if the system did not encounter any heavy traffic between
	ethernet (de0) and a ppp link. 

	Francis
