I spent some time talking with a BIOS engineer today about the problem
of FreeBSD not rebooting on some motherboards and have come up with
the following patch that fixes the problem on the board I have here.
Could others who are having this problem please apply this patch and
let me know if it fixes your problem too?
I am also interested in other boards that don't have this problem if
you can see if it ever does the ``Keyboard reset did not work'' thing.
If we can't produce that message on any board we have probably fixed
this problem once and for all.
The BIOS engineer I was working with claims that this should work for
all BIOS's include MCA machines.
