I think you learned a valuable lesson. FBSD2.0 is not Rock Solid,
but it is still a lot more robust that some people think. For
example it is much more robust that some very expensive
commercial Unix(tm) OSes I could name. When you get strange
and mysterious results with it, *First* suspect your hardware.
*Especially* if it runs ``fine with dos''.
