Re: Will not boot from halt

Then I could let it set and either cut the power or hit a key

But. Now, I do the shutdown -h now and it goes down to that
halted state with the same message. But, when I hit a key
it seems to ignore it and just sits there and seems to do nothing.
To reboot then, I have to kill the power and turn it back on.

I am not trying to get it to go all the way down to poweroff -
just sit there and wait for me to hit a key for a reboot - without
doing a poweroff, which worked fine under FreeBSD 4.xxx

Has anyone noticed something like this? Is it an OS change/bug
or did I probably do something weird when I did the reinstall.
It is more of an annoyance than a big problem, but something isn't
right.

By the way, shutdown -r now seems to work as expected.

I have the exact same problem after updating from FBSD 5.4. I had
thought it was just me.
