I've had this problem ever since 386BSD 0.1. I'm currently running
NetBSD 0.9. The problem is that when I shutdown the machine (shutdown
-h) it says "press any key to reboot", but when I press a key, nothing
happens. Also, when I do a reboot or shutdown -r, the machine does not
automatically reboot. In both cases I must press the reset button to
cause a reboot.
This problem was present using the IDE drive as root (no SCSI on
system) as well as using the SCSI drive as root.
Has anyone else seen this? Is there a fix?
System Specs: Gateway 2000 486 33MHz 16MB RAM
202 MB IDE (Western Digital)
Adaptec 1542C
800 MB SCSI (Toshiba)
Nec 84i CD-ROM
Diamond Speedstar SVGA
Thanks for any help,
Rob.
