I was sitting at console, did the find command, and boom it just panic'd with that message. It happened that one time, I rebooted, it happened again (that's when it printed a screenful of info I couldn't capture), and it hasn't happened since. That doesn't say much because the machine is idle and isn't in production yet. > This is almost certainly a firmware bug.

Take a look at: Hmm interesting. I'm going to move back to 5.06J firmware and give that a shot. I've used FreeBSD on 5.06I in the past and it's been very solid. Of course, that was pre-3.0.
