	I have an odd problem with FreeBSD 2.0 spontaneously locking up.
	Every so often, the machine (486/40, 16megs ram, 2gig SCSI2 drive,
	Adaptec 1542cf, 3c509 -- pretty generic machine) will just hang,
	with the hard drive light locked 'on' .. in this state, I am 
	unable to access the machine at all, either via ethernet or via
	the console.  It doesn't seem to follow any set 'schedule' if 
	you will, and appears quite sporadic.  Any suggestions would be
	_very_ greatly appreciated.
