Forgive me if this has come up already, but I've just installed
a basic NetBSD 1.0 installation (base10/etc10) on a Dell Dimension
P75 computer, and have noticed that activating the scroll-lock
key and pressing return (when in sh or csh) ungracefully
reboots the machine.  Is this a 'feature' or a 'bug'?
It doesn't appear to be mentioned in the BSD-FAQ.

The computer has Phoenix Bios 4.004, if that matters.
