hi jan --

thanks for the confirmation on those tweaks. unfortunately i seem to
now be getting hung up on a known freebsd bug --

http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-bugs/2006-April/018022.html

where venus causes a kernel panic. at least i can be sure its not the
stuff i changed :)

is venus support in freebsd still actively maintained? any thoughts on
what might be the trouble? all i get is a 'fast access data mmu miss'
(if i remember correctly) then the system just reboots. is there
anything that i can do to produce some data that might be useful in
tracking down the problem?

regards, sean
