the first bug is the hard disk lite hang thing.
This has not yet been fixed in either system.
I beg to differ dear sir! With both NetBSD-0.8 and then with
NetBSD-0.9, I had this harddrive hanging problem. When I moved over
to _FreeBSD_, the problem went away and never came back.
Given that I have actually tried a FreeBSD kernel on two machines here
that exhibit the problem (one with IDE and one with SCSI), and that
numerous people have reported it in either system, I tend to wonder
what *else* you did to your system at the same time.
For starters, did you repartition your disks?
