32 Mb RAM

Rebooted this morning after the usual lockup; Have done lots of NFS client
copying (NetBSD src tree from another machine to the AXPpci) since.

netbsd2# pstat -s
Device      1K-blocks     Used    Avail Capacity  Type
/dev/sd0b       55800      616    55184     1%    Interleaved

I bet if I don't run anything else (other than std cron stuff), it'll
lock up by tomorrow morning.

Maybe I should whack the disk on the 3000-300X and see if it suffers
the same fate?

It _does_ match the configuration, at least for those devices that are
turned on (== console). Correct me if I'm wrong, but devices that are
"off" are ignored, aren't they?!.

I have a video card and keyboard plugged in, so the system doesn't try
to use a serial console. I don't actually use the keyboard, though -- I
haven't got a monitor connected. 8-). Need that X server for Mach64 or
Stealth!
