Changing my fileserver motherboard from an
ASUS CUSL2 to an ABIT VL6 fixed all of my
fileserver installation blues...almost

Word of warning...(this may be a bug or
just dumb on my part)  I initially used
an ide drive with a partition for a
pseudo worm and an uncached file system.
That is,
	config w0
	filsys main cp(w0)0.12fp(h0)0.85
	filsys dump o
	filsys tdta p(w0)12.88
	filsys sdta p(h0)85.15

My reasoning was I needed as much space
for large temporary files as possible.

A long running program that accessed the
ide file system sdta during a dump 
caused the file server to throw a
hissy.  After that point I received
phase errors on any files on sdta.  
Doing a check on sdta from the file server
caused it to reboot.  I could get
the file server to reboot from a terminal
by doing an ls on the root of sdta or
an ls in the first dump of main.

Nonetheless I have changed my file server
configuration to
	config w0
	filsys main cp(w0)0.12fh0
	filsys dump o
	filsys tdta p(w0)12.88

And have had no troubles since...
Moral of the story. KISS

On other matters, I would not have
gotten this far if it weren't for the
helpful pointers of:
Forsyth, Dorman, Harriss, and Mehat
Thank you all.
