Hi. I seem to have run into a problem (minor but annoying).

On any software initiated reboot (during install, shutdown, halt)
after the system has done syncing the disks, it just seems to wait
indefinately (max time I actually waited was 10 min)

If I hit RESET or power-cycle, all is well. Anyone else run into this
behavior.

System config: i486DX2/66, 16mb, BioTeq MB, AmiBios, VLB IDE, WD2540 HD

I don't know if this happens on my other box (currently FreeBSD 1.1)
as I have not upgraded it yet. I wanted to try stability of 2.0 first. :-)

Thanx in advance.
