It has also had Linux running on it (various distros). None of the above have given problems with dnetc in the past. The machine is not under any load. It is my development machine and the error occurs during boot. All the fans are running. It is a Compaq Presario 5868 (AMD Athlon 600 with the AMD751/VIA686a chipsets). 128MB RAM SDRAM 100. Windows 2000 also runs on this machine and exhibits no problems - other than the expected :) The machine had been running fine since Friday (I upgraded world to 4.1 RC-x). I share dnetc buffer files on a FAT32 partition so that my Windows2000 dnetc client can use the same files (I don't know if this could make a difference). I have another machine running dnetc and it seems to work fine (4.1-RC 1 from ~ 7-17). I was not able to get into FreeBSD to find out if anything else was amis. The CD I burned from a snapshot would not allow me to get to a prompt to boot into single user mode. Something is wrong with that days image. The image is from around July 7th. I had edited my /boot/loader.rc to automatically boot without the prompt - so I can not enter single user mode that way either. Perhaps I will download a more recent floppy set and see if I can get in with them.
