The console goes dark and then the machine sits and hangs. No output on the console and nothing happens. I cannot even shut the machine off by holding the power button in! - I have to unplug it and then when I replug it in and fire it up -all is ok. Could this be the hard drive?? - If I use a different hard drive with solaris on it, it will reboot just fine on this command. So I am wondering if its the FreeBSD and/or the drive?? Any thoughts or ideas? Thanks.. -- J.D. Bronson Aurora Health Care // Information Services // Milwaukee, WI USA Office: 414.978.8282 // Email: jd@aurora.org // Pager: 414.314.8282
