I have an old Compaq Deskpro 386/20 here, and finally managed to get 386BSD up and running on that system.

Unfortunately, rebooting the system shuts down properly but after the screen goes blank only two beeps are heard and the system halts completely. Lacking a reset button, one has to "reboot" by using the big switch.

Anyone else encountered this problem and found a solution ?

Thanks for any hints in advance.
