I recently configured SW_WATCHDOG in my kernel and put watchdogd_enable=3D"=
YES"=20
in my rc.conf, hoping it would reboot the machine automatically if it hangs=
=2E=20
However, it seems that the watchdog just triggers a panic without resetting=
=20
the machine - how can I configure things to reboot?

Also I noticed that the default timeout (what is the default timeout anyway=
 -=20
the watchdogd manpage doesn't tell) is a little short: I got a watchdogd=20
triggered panic once during a normal shutdown, after "rebooting" was printe=
d=20
but before the reboot could happen.
