Hi!

Well , I did a diff between the 950412-SNAP and the 2.0.5 sources
This shows that the ``BROKEN_KEYBOARD_RESET'' option got a meaning in
2.0.5 butnot in the previous SNAP (i386/i386/vm_machdep.c::cpu_reset()).
That explains well the different reboot-behaviour. I have added the
option to my kernel, and now could reboot several times in a row w/o
problem :-)

OTOH: changing the ISA-GAT or the Cache-Update-Policy in the
BIOS-setup did not alter the reboot behaviour in any deterministic
way.
(How would I recognize an ISA bus master if I had one?)
(Cache-Update was default set to write-back, though apparently
there is no TAG-RAM-Chip on the board - but I did not get any
unexplanable SIGSEGs ;-)
My SCSI-bus is triple-terminated, because I inherited some antique
Sun3-shoeboxes that would need to be disassembled completely to remove
the terminators, and FreeBSD, Linux and DOS/Windoze work ok with it.

well , now that rebooting seems to work properly, remains the question
why such an odd the disk geometry is reported (Linux and the
previous SNAP release both get the correct geometry ...)
