I just tried another power supply. Lasted 18 hours 15 minutes
14 seconds.
The power light is on, the net light is blinking, I can't get
anything off the console, nor seem to drop the OS into debugger mode.
Is there some sort of debug BIOS available or something? This
is unreal that out of the blue, for no apparent reasons, units start
to just flake. If there is someone (phk?) who is really good with
FreeBSD able to "check my work" about getting the debugger for FreeBSD
running, I would appreciate it. Otherwise, I'm not sure where to go
from here.
Thanks, Tuc
