[FW-1] error message on solaris fw

[Kenny Smith <fwdog@FW1-NOSPAMHOTMAIL.COM>]

a few questions.

1)I found my solaris check point firewall is having the error messages
continueously.  Do you know what is the problem?

2)My firewall license is tied to solaris firewall hme0 200.100.100.100, and
its netmask is 255.255.255.0 at the moment.  If I change my firewall hme0
netmask to 255.255.255.240 with same IP.  Will the firewall stop
functioning.

3)One of my solaris firewall after power shutdown. I suspect its the Hardisk
problem as there is a drive fail error on the screen and wierd noises coming
from the box.  May I know what is the common reason cause this? I just
upgrade it from CP4.0 to CP2000 a month ago but I don't think it is the
reason.  What to prevent this happen

Thanks a lot
KENNY
