So far tests in this area have proven inconclusive. This is a shot in the dark. I suggest running vpddecode (from ports/sysutils/dmidecode) as root to determine what the motherboard serial numbers are. > On a side note Bruce: Do you buildworld on your laptop or another > box? My buildworld took place on kimchi which is my local FreeBSD cvs mirror and main development machine. It is an AMD 1.1Ghz Thunderbird, with a Soyo K7V Dragon+ mainboard and 512MB DDR. I generally do this for speed (the disks in my CVS machine are much faster) and to have traceability with regards to kernel version and my own commits. BMS
