With sound similar to "frozen" CD player like dadeda, dadeda,
dadeda,... at finitum.

System is blocked.

Nop. Zero. Apart from the bizarre sound.

10 or 15 seconds. It's not for the first time. The same
phenomenon occurred when I tried OpenBSD two years ago. Then I switched
to NetBSD. The freezes occurred but less frequently. All with the same
"CD Player's Repetitive Sound Syndrome". :-)

Perhaps. I'll see to it in this way. Remembering your remarks. Thanks.
