For some reason, the ``Syncing disks...'' message goes on one VTY, and the ``Press any key to reset'' messages goes on another. It drove Jordan nuts during the 2.0.5 release process, and he obviously hasn't found a fix yet (if a fix is possible). I'm slightly surprised your attempts to switch VTY's didn't trigger a reboot. Perhaps the <ALT>-<FN> combos are still trapped and ignored as being keypresses? Certainly, pressing the space bar works (or used to). Gary
