	Hi, Samy!

	I had the same (or very similar problem) with our DX4/100.
	The computer hang completely after 'Reboot'-word (even cursor
	stopped blinking!). This was found both under OS/2 Warp and
	FreeBSD 2.0.5. And I always had to apply 'Cold Reset' (alas,
	not very good for remote reboot :-)

	SOLUTION:
	^^^^^^^^
	was found in MotherBoard Man (where different jumpers were
	described). MB thought that it works with DX not DX4. After
	the change the Computer reboots fine.

	Hope this helps.

	Regards,

							Maksim.
