I have reinstalled FreeBSD 2.1 and now, when I 'halt' the computer after the message "Press any key to reboot" when I press any key I see the message: "Keyboard reset failed. Trying CPU shutdown" and the computer is locked (unless I press the physical reset button). Can anybody explain me what does it mean and what did I do wrong? I have 486DX-100, 32MB RAM, Walnut Greek CDROM with FreeBSD 2.1.0 Thanks in advance, -- Shimon Pozin pozin@math.tau.ac.il
