Is this problem reproducible? I don't recall if you mentioned that
earlier.
Sort of.
It seems that everytime I generate a bootable FreeBSD ISO, a die is
rolled. If it comes up a certain number then it crashes, otherwise it's
fine. ;)
My ISO generation process might be relevant; I create a 600MB ramdisk
(it used to be 512 on FreeBSD 7.3) which loads from the ISO on
boot. This winds up being the root partition.
As a datapoint the same die roll happens on FreeBSD 7.3 although the
chance of working seems to be greater.
If you'd like a copy of the ISO to see this for yourself I can make it
available. I'm guessing it will also crash for you in this way modulo
hardware issues.
When you build your kernel for this ISO are you increasing the value of
NKPT?
