I have just installed 2.1.1 from the CD-ROM on my 16MB Pentium
120, and all seems well - with one exception.  I installed
xperfmon++ from the package collection, using pkg_add, and
it runs for about a minute, with a nice graphical display
as expected.  Then the disk system gets busy, and immediately
afterwards the machine hangs - no keyboard or mouse response
whatsoever, even to ctrl-alt-backspace, F1-F4 etc.  I have to
hit the big red switch, and then let fsck do its thing - and it
finds plenty to do.  This problem is repeatable.

Any clues/ideas, please?
