My Notebook i486 computer would only reset successfully only once
every few reboot attempts - I think the problem is that the bios doesn't
like the state the mmu is when NetBSD exits.

Anyway, I fixed the problem on my machine by patching the cpu_reset()
function in /usr/src/sys/arch/i386/i386/machdep.c. The function tries 3
different ways to reset the machine but the first - toggle the keyboard
hardware reset line - usually caused my machine to hang so I just commented
it out. The second method - cause a watchdog timer reset - resets my
machine successfully all the time.

Hope this helps,

Gary.
