Hopefully there's someone with one of these tapes and running FreeBSD
2.2 (Snapshot 23 March 1996 on CD). When I try to access the disk using
tar and/or ft i get this;

panic: unwire: page not in pmap

and that the end of the system and I have to reset the box. I bet that I
have missed something in the kernel config but I cannot see any
conflicts. Any help would be most welcome, thanks in advance.
