I've had problems with the 2.0.5 floppies not rebooting the machine too. It
never reboots, I always have to reset. Umm, on one occasion I found the
"hit any key to reset" on another vty so I'm just wondering now if this is
just me not being patient enough for it to timeout :-)

I don't think so though, although that message really need to go to
vty0 rather than vty1 where I found it.

Ohh, the motherboard is an oldish Intel board, don't have the details handy
it's in work, the machine is something like LP486, and the motherboard
has an integrated NCR710 SCSI controller and an integrated 82596 ethernet
controller, neither of which seem to work with FreeBSD :-(
