   I've got a couple of machines at a client site where FreeBSD
 will not reboot. The filesystems sync and then I get the message

  Keyboard reset did not work, attemping CPU shutdown

  Then the machine hangs..as if the OS has halted. I have to
 press reset to get the machine to boot. Anybody know what 
 causes this? Strange because I have the same problem on 
 TWO pcs at the same site. Release is FreeBSD 2.2.1. TIA
