Then when I reboot, the system starts to come up, and configures all of the devices and then at the end brings up a message like "Reboot of the system in 15 seconds. Press any key to abort reboot". I can't remember the exact message, but along those lines. It's been a week since I've tried anything. But for some reason I just can't get the system to boot due to this. Does anybody have any ideas? (could be that I need the -a option at the boot prompt, but I don't know).
