I had the lockup problem with fscking two IDE's until I added -l1 to fsck in /etc/rc, then the problem went away. Otherwise you have to make almost all the scan orders in /etc/fstab 1 to make fsck do the right thing. It seems to be a problem with fscking IDE drives in tandem. I had it with NetBSD, but I dunno if the other kids in the *BSD family have the same problem... -- Ack! Creek, not creek; Pop not soda; Car needs washed...
