Hi. 

I've installed XFree86 1.1 (stock patched kernel) over stock 386bsd 0.1,
and it has been running continuously for 3 weeks or so. Today I went
away from my desk for about an hour, and when I came back I discovered
that 386bsd has rebooted and is hung at the xdm command in rc.local.

The machine is alive and responds to ping, but I am unable to login.

Has anybody encountered this problem before?

TIA.
