Quoting "Nate Eldredge" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (from Tue, 12 Aug

Hi folks,
I recently tried to run a Linux binary of Maple (commercial math
software) on my FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE/amd64 box, and the machine
rebooted. I tried it again while watching the console, and no panic
message appeared to be produced. Does anyone have any ideas on how
to debug problems of this nature? I realize I may not be able to
get Maple to work, but in any case the system should not die like
this, so I can at least try to fix that bug.
Incidentally, is it possible to run kdb with a USB keyboard?
Hitting Ctrl-Alt-Esc gives me the kdb prompt, but I can't type, so I
can do nothing except hit the power button. I do have
hint.atkbd.0.flags="0x1" in /boot/device.hints. Unfortunately I
don't have a PS/2 keyboard on hand, though I can try and get a hold
of one if all else fails.
A guess out of my cristallball:
That's one of the cases which happen if you run a linux program
without branding it as a linux program first. People tend to think it
is not needed, but in some rare circumstances it just causes what you
see, a reboot. So go and identify all binaries (IMPORTANT: but not the
libraries!), e.g. with the file(1), and use "brandelf -t Linux" on
those programs.
Bye,
Alexander.
