 Hello Wilko,
 
 I am sorry for not mentioning the version:
 
 The machine is an "alphastation 500" from digital and the srm version is
 "V7.2-2".
 
 It run perfectly under FreeBSD 4.7 but unfortunately the kernel was not
 stable with having probably problems in memory so that I tried the 5.0.
 This signifficantly runs more stalbe as long one does not use ipfw
 command. "ipfw show" sometimes panics the kernel and on the reboot, as
 well as by any other reboot, the srm console gets into an desolate
 condition. Using "halt" works fine as expected.
 
 I am quite new to all of this stuff, so if you need more detailed
 information, please ask me what to check for.
 
 with best regards
 
 Jens
