Any clue about this ? Does FreeBSD attempt to do a > cold or a warm boot ? does it use int 19 h ? There's no reliable way to cold boot a PeeCee. Send your ovations for this sin to Big Blue, please. The result of a broken cold boot is what you're seeing... No, FreeBSD doesn't use int 0x19, it doesn't have access to the BIOS, and all int 0x19 does is just jumping to 0xffff0. (Unless a virus has been trapping int 0x19 while you were in DOS. :-) My machine at work doesn't reboot completely either, btw. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
