Here's the problem, I jsut got NetBSD working this wafternoon.  I've noticed
that it hangs occassionally.  I don't have any clue why it does this.  It
usually happens when doing someting simple like "ls".  I did notice that it's
happened more than once when I was typing faster than the machine was
producing output on the screen.  If you ping it, it's there.  But I can't do
anything interactive with it.  

My sys configuration is:
ALR Business VEISA 101,
5Meg RAM
Seagate 1144A IDE 125Meg Drive
3Com 3C503 Ethernet Card
AHA_154 Kernel (154x) NOT the EISA kernel

Can anybody help me?  Thanx..alex...
