Nope :( Changing the disk made me think that the problem was gone, but it
hasn't I had the lockup earlier this morning, right after another joyous X
server crash, This time I wasn't doing anthing at all disk related. I
L1-A'ed synced and rebooted. I'm going to sup and make a more recent kernel
this one is 4/08/95, incase any of the changes pk has fixed it.

No errors once again, and I couldn't run any executables cause I had no
disk :( I'm going to nfs mount a NetBSD mini-root from another machine and
if it happens again I'll try and get some debug.
