Dear netbsd users,

I have found an interesting problem, which may be affecting only myself.
My PowerBook's internal battery is almost dead, so everytime I startup 
netbsd, system date is around 1903. I can change the date by

# date -n 199808061749

but 5 seconds later, the whole machine hangs. Very interestingly, about 3
minutes later machine resumes. In this 3 minutes period, ping from remote 
machine fails. There's no error message in /var/log/message.
I'm using 1.3F #78.

Thanks David and Nakata-san for the answer.

This was because not enough space. I don't want to believe that pkg_add
doesn't return any error even with '-v' option. I guess I have to compile
pkg_add myself and see.
