System: NetBSD chel 1.5.1_BETA NetBSD 1.5.1_BETA (CHEL) #0: Sat Apr 7 05:30:39 CDT 2001 root@:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/CHEL i386
>Description:
My problem is that when I try to reboot via ssh, or anyway remotely for
that matter, the system hangs at "syncing disks 1....", and will not go
for the reboot. When I reboot via the serial console, no problems at
all. It does just what it should. It happened with 1.5 GENERIC and a
custom 1.5.1_BETA.
>How-To-Repeat:
Issuing /sbin/reboot or /sbin/shutdown -r now from a remote connection.
I've tested this via ssh and telnet, same deal.
>Fix:
No clue. :)
