I just logged in OK as it's done it again.

Unfortunately it has a version of ATARAID which doesn't support crash dumps.

Argh.

I was incrementally dumping sysctl trees and when I got to vm it hung..

eureka:~>sysctl vm
load: 0.07  cmd: sysctl 72864 [user map] 0.00u 0.00s 0% 852k
load: 0.07  cmd: sysctl 72864 [user map] 0.00u 0.00s 0% 852k
load: 0.07  cmd: sysctl 72864 [user map] 0.00u 0.00s 0% 852k
load: 0.05  cmd: sysctl 72864 [user map] 0.00u 0.00s 0% 852k

I tried to reboot in another window but..
eureka:~>reboot
load: 0.06  cmd: csh 71159 [allproc] 0.03u 0.00s 0% 4652k

I am pondering an update to at least the ATA sub system so I can generate a=

crash dump though.
