I looked even though I didn't think make writes > anything to log/messages. It doesn't, but if there's a system problem (like a panic) it should get logged. My suspicion is that you ran out of virtual memory; when this happens, FreeBSD starts killing off processes to try and make more room, and it may have killed off init(8) by mistake. I don't think you'd get a log entry in these circumstances. -- James Raynard, Edinburgh, Scotland james@jraynard.demon.co.uk http://www.freebsd.org/~jraynard/
