This is the second time my machine has flat out hung (mouse dies, numlock doesn't toggle, etc) while using navigator 4 in the distributed XFree86 (i've made no mods to what comes with 225R). I'm not sure a) why (this is new hardware, so there's feasibly something wrong with it; FreeBSD is the hardware's first OS) and b) how to find out what's going on.. IE can I force some sort of crash dump at the bootloader? Run some sort of debugging? etc ..
