MOUNTING EXT2FS:
I dual-boot with OpenSUSE, sharing data on an Ext2 Partition. The machine is 
an AMD Sempron with SATA Hard Disk. After installing FreeBSD 64-bit for AMD, 
I suddenly got problems with mount_ext2fs. Thus:
"mount_ext2fs /dev/ad4s2 /mnt" , with various options can yield:
"Operation not permitted"
"kldload: unsupported file type"
I haven't noticed a pattern yet, but I discovered a simple solution:
"umount /mnt"
Which can work without complaining when I didn't know anything was mounted, 
like immediately after reboot.
MEMORY LOCKING:
Recompiling my root-privileged program, I get a System Call failure for:
mlockall(MCL_CURRENT);
errno says: "Resource temporarily unavailable"
But mlock(); works.
BIOS TIME SETTING:
System Time keeps getting set back, typically by 5 minutes plus. I can't see 
another explanation yet except my new FreeBSD Installation.
