First of all thank you for your reply.
I'm really enjoying this system.
Yes, of course.
All the following commands act like reboot:
sudo poweroff
sudo shutdown -p now
sudo halt -v
The machine closes down all running applications and apears to shutdown, but immediately starts booting again, exactly like reboot. Actually, I see no difference if I issue
sudo reboot
Also, when booting it shows
random_seed: /etc/entropy-file: Not present, which I belive is consistent with rebooting behaviour.
If I hard shutdown by pressing the power bottom, which I know I shouldn’t do, the random_seed is present and read at boot.
Currently, I shutdown the laptop and press the power button when it starts to boot up again, but I would prefer if I could shutdown the system properly.
NetBSD-8 running now is updated from the RC_2 release if that matters.
Thanks
