A possible solution to: (posted Thu, 16 Nov 2000 13:55:39) Hello, I installed FreeBSD 4.1 on a Compaq Deskpro EN. When I type reboot it syncs disk and hangs after it says "Rebooting". It does not do this for FreeBSD 2.2.8. Can you tell me what's wrong and what I have to do to fix this. Thanks. Is: Upgrade your BIOS with the latest ROMpaq from compaq's website. I just got a Compaq Deskpro EN PII-400 from an auction and it was doing the exact same thing. I flashed the BIOS and the "locking-up" at rebooting after it had synced the disks went away. Also (off topic), near the DIMM slots is a set of switches labeled "SW1". Switch 6 controls power-on when power is applied. The factory setting for this switch is "OFF". You will want to be set to "ON" so that, if the unit looses power, it will come back on when the power comes back on.
