My system is: ASUS P2B-S PII 333Mhz 128Mb Mem, U2W SCSI Disk, FreeBSD 3.0-CURRENT
I only run the standard full system install with KDE 1.0 and Netscape 4.5

If i don't do a:
sysctl -w vfs.ffs.doreallocblks=0

The system won't survive longer than a day, it usally reboots when performing
standard cron stuff on 2.00AM  

Ron.
