Same Problem for me, with NetBSD-1.0pl6 and -current-19950620. The
board is a Asus Triton Pentium 90 MHz.  FreeBSD until 950322-snapshot
had the same problem, FreeBSD-2.0.5 works.

Didn't found the time to diff the reset() call of them, but that
probably helps.

I heard that in some cases (here: for NeXTStep) exchanging the BIOS
with a newer version helps. The ASUS boards can load a new image from
DOS.
