Hmm, looks like there is some evidence that this is a real problem and not just a symptom of flaky hardware at my end (which I had put it down to until now). So does anyone have any suggestions as to the best way to set about getting it fixed then ? Incidentally, FreeBSD does something odd with Symbios SCSI interfaces as I have another set of Compaqs that will not reboot after BSd has been run on them,and require a power cycle - see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=27834 which I submitted some time ago, and nobody has managed to make any suggestions on... -pcf.
