Okay, so I have a FreeBSD 10.1 CD-ROM, believed to be a true copy and
authentic copy.
And I loaded it on a computer. I did this entirely offline. I also supplied
passwords.
Then I went online to get packages.
Nothing unusual happened UNTIL the machine seized and when I rebooted I
discovered it would hang and reboot. A loop.
I had done nothing to cause this. I had not opened an X session nor done
anything other than load packages such as maxima, cproto. Nothing involved in
the area of security.
I had thought this was pretty much impossible... Remember, this machine was
brand new, I'd loaded FBSD-10.1 on it no more than an hour prior and had not
messed with any of the internals.

depending on where it rebooted, it really sounds like an infant
mortality problem.. (failure in computer or drive).
(brand new machines have a much higher chance of failure than middle
aged machines, as all the components burn in.)
why is this in 'security'?
