Hello all,

	I'm having a problem with FreeBSD 2.1.7.1 since I installed a 9G harddrive.

My configuration is
	AT&T Globalyst  600
         Pentium 90 
         48M RAM
         Quantum PD1050iS 3142 (1G HD)
         FUJITSU M2949S-512 0142 (9G HD)
         Adaptec 2940 controler

	The computer reboots at various times throughout the day. How do I go about 
tracking down the  reason the reboot occurs? I've checked the 
/var/log/messages file but there is nothing that points to a potential 
problem. I've included the boot hardware detection log to the 
/var/log/messages file at the end of this post.

	Since this behavior happened after I added 32 M RAM and the 9G HD, I'm 
guessing this is what might be causing the problem.  

	I had originally installed FreeBSD with 16 M RAM and 1 G HD. When I added 
32M of RAM I did not increase the size of the swap partition. Could this be a 
problem?

	I'm using the machine as a news server so I want to solve this problem. I 
would appreciate any advice you have to offer.
