But just as a previous NetBSD poster said FreeBSD 2.0 %also hangs on reboot. That is it shuts down okay but just hangs on %the reboot command. The Cyrix also hung on the reboot command. I have now swapped the Cyrix DX2-66 for an Intel DX2-66 and all my problems (i.e. memory erros and bus errors) have vanished. It even reboots correctly. So here's a warning: don't buy Cyrix processor. It won't work on an ASUS SP3G board with FreeBSD 2.0! Walter. -- Walter Belgers ------. Jo man!
