Is there any inherent reason why this combination of hardware / software
crashes easily?
Hardware: 33MHz cx486DLC + 387 (AMI BIOS) with 16 MB RAM 70ns.
all bios shadows disabled, (probably) no waitstate RAM.
(adaptec 1542B) SCSI hard disks and wd8003 ethernet, Boca io2x4
parallel / serial portsū.
waitstate enabled on the ethernet bios.
System: standard 386bsd distribution (bin01, src01, etc01) with no patches.
swapfile enabled on /dev/as0b (doesn't seem to make any difference).
any ideas? At the moment it crashes in the middle of long compiles and in
all kinds of other situations (like typing a simple command).
