Workstation crashed today. I could ping it and I could move mouse, but couldn't login remotely, close X, use menus, switch consoles. After it booted didn't notice anything in any logs about it. I have had a lot of seg 11 over past couple years -- bad memory or bad hardware I guess.

When I tried to mount CD I burned a few days ago:

cd0(pciide0:1:1):  Check Condition on CDB: 0x00 00 00 00 00 00
SENSE KEY:  Media Error
ASC/ASCQ:  Unable To Recover Table-Of-Contents

(It also couldn't be read by a Windows system.)

I had made it like:

mkhybrid -o backup.iso -a -l -D -J -R -L /home/backups

So I built it again. Then mounted the image:

vnconfig -v -c /dev/vnd0d backup.iso
mount -t cd9660 /dev/vnd0a /mnt

All looked fine. Then unmounted with:

umount /mnt
vnconfig -u vnd0d

(I burned this under Linux system with:

cdrecord -v speed=1 dev=0,0,0 backup.iso

This took around 37 minutes. And finished succesfully; I was able to mount using Linux iso9660. It seems like my last one was successful and mountable too though.)

I tried under NetBSD again -- and finally the backup archive on CD worked!
