2.2.5-RELEASE had a couple of problems that exhibited themselves as VM
problems that caused the system to panic occasionally. You can either
upgrade to 2.2.6-BETA or email me and I will send you a 42K patch that
fixes these and various other problems that I had, including a hack to
fix a NULLFS panic (PR kern/5355).

> I've got a new box, about two weeks ago, to replace my good ol' DX2/66.
