netstat fails with memory allocation error and error in kvm_read

Hi We are trying to gather some debug information for a problem that is difficult to diagnose, as the machine always ends up hard frozen (does not do anything, can not break to debugger, does not respond to keyboard, etc.), so we are dumping output from netstat, vmstat, iostat etc. quite often.

Wiring down SCSI devices - was Re: Problem booting a Compaq Proliant 1600.

The information needed to wire down SCSI devices (which appears to be necesary in some cases with systems that have more than 1 SCSI controller) is contained in /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/NOTES for v4.10, and /sys/conf/NOTES for 5.3-STABLE Thanks to Scott Long for pointing out the latter. Mike Squir

NFS & firewalls
