The patch in the updates directory on ftp.freebsd.org should be
updated. The errata says:
o Intel "F00F bug" enables users to hang machines with Pentium
processors if they have access to the machine and can execute programs.
Fix: Update to the 2.2-stable version of the kernel or apply the
patch found in:
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/2.2.5-RELEASE/updates/f00f.diff.2.2
