Davidzon" To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: RE: Rebooting via BIOS Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk Good afternoon This is my second post to the list. I have a 486 machine which used to run linux, now converted to FreeBSD. In order to get it to reboot (at all) in Linux I had to pass a reboot=bios to the kernel at boot time via Lilo. How would I do this under FreeBSD? It currently hangs right before it should reboot (says rebooting and then hangs). The keyboard fix in the kernel did not work (the don't reboot with the keyboard thing). I need to pass something like reboot=bios to the kernel, but not quite sure what its called or how I would do it.
