Compiling a kernel with "options DDB" should dump you into the debugger if your kernel panics. So you should at least be able to tell the difference a panic and a spontaneous reboot. Of course, compiling a new kernel with different options might change the reproducability of the panic/reboot. -- Matthew Hunt <mph@astro.caltech.edu> * Inertia is a property http://www.pobox.com/~mph/ * of matter.
