Interesting, Do you by any chance have an accelerator card?

I run NetBSD 1.2 on a 3000T and I used to use 'reboot' to return to 
AmigaDOS with no problems. I recently upgraded with a CyberStorm-II 
68040 card and now 'reboot' shuts everything down correctly and then 
the machine just stops with a blank black screen. I usually use the 
reset key to re-boot after this happens. Everything else works fine
with the CS-II card so I am not too bothered about it but I would
also be interested in knowing why it happens.
