Folks, I've run into a problem with BSD/OS v 3.0--the "reboot" command
fails, with the BIOS reporting "Operating System Not Found".  Yet when I
manually press the reset button, the system reboots as it should and comes
right up.

Trouble reports to BSDI have not yielded an answer.  Their position is that
it's a hardware problem, and one should contact HP.  Efforts to do that are
underway, but will most likely take some time.  In the meantime, has anyone
run into this problem and/or have a solution/workaround?  Hardware
information follows.  Thanks for any ideas.
