I am using a Dell Latitude laptop with FreeBSD 3.1.  If I do a 'shutdown -r
now'  everything proceeds and I see the words 'Rebooting' and the machine
just sits there.  None of the keys have any effect not even the power button,
at this point I need to reset the machine via pulling the battery.  

If I do 'shutdown -h now' the machine halts and I can cycle the power with the
on/off switch.


Do I need to rebuild the kernel with some special option in order to get the
machine to reboot?

Thanks,
Wayne
