I love the system, & have 2.2.2 up as server for barvennon.com .  I am upgrading (experimenting) on/to 2.2.5 on a second computer, and there seems to be no way to get it (2nd pc) to do a shutdown or reboot.  When that computer is on dos 6.22 MEMMAKER can reboot, so it probably isn't an inherent hardware prob.  I have tried with or without booteasy, always the same prob., it just stops before complete shutdown.  Below are vital statistics, if you want i can let you get at it online, to check what is set up inside..

hardware - ibm "value point"  486dx-33   8MB RAM, 203mb HD

software - freebsd 2.2.5 with dedicated disk 203MB (booteasy with a dos partition didn't work any better.)

the messages...

shutdown -r now

shutdown NOW!
shutdown: [PID171]

keyboard reset did not work, attempting CPU shutdown

and there is where it hangs.

sometimes, it stops at an earlier point.

have you got a fix?  maybe I have installed it wrong, but I have reinstalled it dozens of times on that hardware, no luck, always the same prob.  I installed it on another computer, & this problem did not arise.

I suspect the IBM hardware, is it different, in a way that you did not account for in BSD?

I am happy to set up an account on barvennon.com from which you can log onto zeta as su & inspect.
