Harddrive is Seagate 1gig, about 2/3 months old, never a problem with it. For the last week I've been installing a 500meg part of Freebsd alpha. And there WAS a 500meg Dos part, that was full. I finally got all of FreeBSD, X, and everything running great. Made new kernels etc.. Yesterday I installed ALL of packages. I ftped them to my Linux server, which NFS them to FreeBSD machine, install worked great (pkg_manager), I used ./sysinstall packages, had a nice menuing system. When I was done, I played with X a little, downed the machine, cntrl alt-del, it reset, I turned it off. Today I turn it on, and all part. are gone. Both Dos and FreeBSD say the drive is empty. I've been around along time, and I know parts get corrupted etc... but the drive is bare as if I just bought it. I did a low-level check on the drive, not one error. ( stupid part is I have many tapedrives, and I never backup my Dos part., so all my work is gone.)
