Sorry, if this question is not in right newsgroup.

I have a Micron Pentium 90 machine running BSD/OS 1.1 from BSDI.
Whenever I reboot the machine, it says
 
rebooting....'Press reset button if necessary'
 
and just sits there.
 
I have to manually press the reset button to start reboot.
 
If I reboot my 486 machine running the same OS it resets itself automatically
and starts booting.
 
BSDI says that they send keyboard reset signal, but apparently the machine
doesn't take it.
 
Micron says if it gets the reset signal, machine should reset itself.
 
I have administer this machine remotely, and it is very vital for me to be
able to reboot it remotely.
 
Has anyone encountered this problem before?.

Any help is really appreciated. Please send me e-mail if possible since I
don't frequent these newsgroups.

Thanks,
pph
