Summary: Found a solution to one of my problems
Keywords: FreeBSD 1.1.5.1

Well, after trying many things to trace down my problem with the BT742
mysteriously rebooting my machine (including taking every scsi device off
the bus except the drive & the BT742), I seem to have found a solution to
the symptom. By changing the interrupt from 12 to 11, the system seems to
stay up (at least long enough to compile X11R6).

Now, Ive checked every card in my system, and none of them use INT12, so
I don't know why the 742 would hang after about 10 minutes of use. Anyhow,
perhaps the other person that is having troubles with his card is having 
similar problems.

ps If anyoune is interested, I could post my hardware configuration
