Re: Rebooting somehow stopped working

Hi,

Here's a followup: this happens when booting from the bootblock and going 
into AGA mode. I can boot with exactly the same options (netbsd -ASn2) and 
just remove the "A", and it'll reboot on its own just fine thereafter.

I checked all the other things which have changed recently - the PCMCIA 
card, the devices on the SCSI chain, and none of them matter. I also 
checked to see if this is true regardless of the version of NetBSD, and it 
happens with netbsd-5 going back to August through current from a few days 
ago. It also happens regardless of using wscons or not.

I used to have the kernel not use AGA modes by default because I have a 
scandoubler and I thought that 15 kHz modes would allow text to scroll 
faster, but I tested this while I had the machine local, and it's not, so 
I decided to update the bootblock to allow AGA mode. This was after the 
power supply blew up, and it hasn't been back to the datacenter since, 
which is why I'm only noticing now.

I also tried updating the bootblocks to netbsd-5 from today, and I see the 
same behaviour.

Any ideas?

John
