Got a really strange one:

DECstation 5000/200, 64M RAM, 3 SCSI disks, 1 SCSI tape
NetBSD 1.4.2

from dmesg:
asc_timeout: cmd 0xB0198468 drive 3
rebooting...

from /var/log/messages:
Jun 18 14:52:49 maximillian /netbsd: asc_timeoute: cmd 0xB0198468 drive 3
Jun 18 14:52:49 maximillian /netbsd: rebooting...

Here's the deal.. drive 3 is the boot drive, and where /var is stored... 
How in the heck did it write the timeout to /var/log/messages if the drive 
had timed out?

Now how did the system write to /var if the drive had timed out?

Told ya it was a good one...

Any ideas??
