>Description:
While booting 2.2-RELEASE, hangs immediately after displaying
"probing for devices on the ISA bus" -  can't go any further.  On 
one occasion computer locked up after displaying the root prompt.
Does not always lock up, though - some boots are succesful.
About 30-40% success rate.  Computer is a 386SX.
>How-To-Repeat:
Reset computer.  Boot into FreeBSD RELEASE 2.2.  Boot enough times
until computer hangs.  Boot on  386sx if possible.
>Fix:
Don't know.  I think maybe it is using the wrong bus speed to probe the
ISA bus.  (If it is even relevant).  Had similar problems with
3.0-SNAPxxx (3.0 CURRENT); problems went away when kernel was
recompiled.

 This itself isn't a sufficient condition to reproduce the problem.
 
 I've also installed 2.2R on my 386/sx16 (probably the smallest machine
 still running 2.2 ;-), and while i have some problems with interrupt
 latency, and also with sig10/11's that don't happen under 2.1.x, the
 machine doesn't lock up at least.

 Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
