Ha... I'd hoped that was how to do it.  Thanks

I was able to get logged in for a while today and grabbed the last
logs from Oct 3.

I see piles of warnings like this:

Oct  3 17:36:01 zfs genunix: [ID 667643 kern.warning] WARNING: Postattach 
failed for hid8
Oct  3 17:36:01 zfs genunix: [ID 667643 kern.warning] WARNING: Postattach 
failed for hid17

But those are peripheral kinds of usb ports or such aren't they?

Where to look for any clues ... so far its been running for about 1/2
hr and not getting any beeps yet, so may be a good opportunity to
extract some kind of diagnostics

I can't get X up ... it just went to a black screen, after seeing the
main login screen, logging in to consol and calling:

but am able to
login at the terminal or ssh from elsewhere to the osol box.

I've posted dmesg at:

  www.jtan.com/~reader/dmesg_osol.txt

I haven't scanned it thoroughly but didn't see anthing I recognized as
a clue. 

If the thing was getting hot, would there be a record left somewhere?
