Thanks, but...
I have plugged two ISA sound cards into the
motherboard, they need respectively snd_sb16 and
snd_ess modules.

When I play with the 'kldload/kldunload' to switch
between the cards, or to have them both loaded,
then my system spontaneously reboots.

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong, or how to control
this problem?

Thanks,
Rob.
