I too had problems with 9.0 spontaneously rebooting after a day or two uptime. One was a freeze after a cvs update of NetBSD pkgsrc. The second time was a spontaneous reboot during a time of idleness; I was in the same room and heard the computer sounds. No more such problem after I updated, building from source, to RELENG_9 (STABLE). I haven't updated yet to 9.1 prerelease, bogged down with ports-upgrading snags and cross-compiling NetBSD.
