The following reply was made to PR i386/62003; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Bruce M Simpson <bms@spc.org> To: freebsd-gnats-submit@freebsd.org Cc: Subject: Re: i386/62003: make /boot/loader "reboot" code same as reboot() syscall Date: Wed, 23 Jun 2004 08:19:44 +0100 The patch here looks correct; the segment for calling the BIOS reset vector should always be 0xF000. Sounds like loader is cutting corners. This problem has been observed before with various third-party BIOS and x86 emulators.
