Nope, pf is turned off on this host as is all other non-essential* parts
like linux compat and daemons I don't really-really-really need.
I've read through archives and it seems that when the FreeBSD kernel
hits *any* kind of hardware fault.. it reboots! Is there any daemon out
there that catches the kernel message that causes the reboot?

*(please, no flames telling me that 'pf' is essential! I know, i just
have it down for now to elimanate all culprits.)
