I have a hard drive with 2 versions of freebsd (4.1 and 4.2) loaded on it. 
They boot and load ok, but when 4.1 is soft-rebooted, it stops at the boot: 
prompt and 3 strange characters are displayed (not alphanumeric)...the second 
partition seems fine.  Backspacing over the characters and hitting return 
manually and the machine boots normally.  Both partitions are using the BTX 
loader v1.01

Any ideas?

Bryan
