On my recently updated (as in world+ports are up-to-date) FreeBSD 6.4
box i tried to get Xorg running, and after building Xorg from ports
and enabling hald and dbus in rc.conf, I get:
Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode

I've got a pretty standard network which uses a FreeBSD server to perform

which consists of 5 network interface cards. Function-wise, it's
basically acting as a switch. However, I want to assign an IP address
to the machine with the 5
To give the whole ensemble an IP address, simply set the IP on the bridge0
interface. I think you can do it most easily by adding this line,
ipv4_addrs_bridge0=192.168.0.254/24
Indeed, that works well.
