Even when released, 3.0 was not meant for production use, or in fact any use at all except by developers and those interested in helping out debugging RELENG_3 so we would one day be able to call it -STABLE. It's quite conceivably the most buggy and incomplete FreeBSD release ever. So allow me to repeat my advice: Don't run 3.0. In fact, don't run any kind of 3.x at all, since we stopped fixing bugs (except for some, but not all, known security holes) about half a year ago. If you absolutely must run RELENG_3, don't run anything but the very latest 3.5-STABLE (cvsup and cvs are your friends).
