FreeBSD 4.9 freezes

[Jesse A. Coddington]

I've also installed FreeBSD 4.7 and it's doing the same thing.  When running
top, I noticed something happening on the server.


PID USERNAME PRI NICE  SIZE    RES STATE    TIME   WCPU    CPU COMMAND
             -2  0     1024k   784k getblk  0's    0's     0's  cron

Every time the server dies, cron is going to -2.  I don't know if this will
help, but I figured that I'd include it.

Thank you,
Jesse A. Coddington
