I recently bought a new 486 motherboard with AMI's new WinBIOS and it no
longer reboots properly, rather it just sits idle until I manually reset it.

I've checked this out in Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, and Windows NT and had the
same results with each of them.  Strangely enough, Ctrl+Alt+Del under DOS
still works fine.

I'm a little suspicious of the BIOS since it's so new.  Has anyone
had/heard of similar experiences?

Thanks in advance,
