Needless to say, that's bizarre.  Had you cycled the machine
previously to this?

I have about 5 DOS/FreeBSD combo machines here running ALPHA and
post-ALPHA (internal release) and they're all just fine, coming
up and down like yo-yos as I test things and with all data intact.

I'm not usually one to deny bugs in FreeBSD, but this really looks
like you're suffering from sunspot activity! :)
