If you are running the Release code, be careful when booting a filesystem that holds the /var/account/acct file that is 98% or more full will cause a panic (this should have been corrected in FreeBSD-current and is in the files on plains). if you have 386bsd 0.1, then pull down the files from plains.NoDak.edu (134.129.111.64) pub/386BSD/acct.shar. this should have instructions on how to make the kernel. in related news, there exists alpha GNU accounting programs (for example sa is missing from net-2/386bsd/freebsd) that seem to work. --mark.
