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. I saw this on an old HP Vectra. The problem is that none of the standard ways of forcing the CPU to reset work. Is there a fix? None that I'm aware of, thought I'd certainly be interested if you find one. -- - Charles Hannum, mycroft@ai.mit.edu a straight dressing, mentally unchallenged, vertically unchallenged, ..., English-American of no color, no religion, and a strong mating preference for people of gender.
