Hi, I'm a BSD newbie, trying to get FreeBSD installed (not a Unix newbie though - a lot of linux and Solaris experience, plus BSD in its MacOS flavor). So far, the install has gone very smoothly, with one minor glitch: a reboot hangs after reporting "Rebooting..." - which seems to be generated by the loader code, just before it initiates a reboot As far as I can tell, this seems to be a BIOS/motherboard issue (Foxconn 661MXF7M1-S), but it also seems to be a problem people run into with various other motherboards and BIOSs. In the Linux world, adding "reboot=b" to kernel options (use the BIOS reboot function) solves the problem nicely, but I can't seem to find an equivalent for FreeBSD. Is there one? Are there any other hacks available? Thanks very much. MilesReceived on Thu Apr 27 2006 - 09:31:04 UTC
