I have just successufly installed my first FreeBSD machine. However, there is one problem. This particular machine is a weird one. I used to run Linux on it, and it required the option "append reboot=bios" to be passed to the kernel in Linux in order for it to reboot with a shutdown -r now. How do I do this in FreeBSD? Is there a different parameter that I should pass to the kernel? Currently this machine will not reboot without me physically powercycling it. -vsd _____________________________________________________________ Vladislav S.
