Sure :).
A kernel from friday woud drop to ddb with the sun standard mmu miss
and something about unaligned access, a kernel with todays sources
with a pretty stripped down config just freezes when doing buildworlds.

I'll try produce a usable debugging trace tomorrow.

The reason I asked is because the machine has been quite stable,
I couldnt kill it easily atleast :). So this relative instability
( aka the machine would die within 2 minutes ) was somewhat of
an upleasant surprise.

Kudos for the hard work by the way.
I have an ultra60 as a spare, would there helpful
for freebsd development if I placed it online on a fast
link ?
