Your problem does seem to be obscure, which means that no one can help you much. I did a quick search at MARC for "dissapeared" in FreeBSD questions, and this seems to be the only relevant answer: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=3Dfreebsd-questions&m=3D96576103029194&w=3D= 2 So perhaps it's a problem with your Fujitsu Picobird 13 MPD-3064-AT, 6181 (Searching on "disappeared" got a few more hits) HTH John.
