These problems are from FreeBSD. I would suggest downloading FreeBSD 6 release and if it exhibits the same behavior, open a pr. We do not maintain the FreeBSD distribution, they do. > MORE INFO !! > OK, I'll give you that one ... system becomes > unreachable from LAN .. no ping, no SSH & no logs > to indicate that there was something wrong.

A *LOT* of work has been happening lately to get us to release.

See my first response. please test a normal FreeBSD 6 cd on this machine.
