Cold Reboot (or cold restart) FreeBSD? locore.s hack attempt

[Michael Neeff]

Hey Billy,
I have the same problem...however am not a hacker :(....only a newbie to 
FreeBSD 5.3. My system for some reason does not do a reboot using: shutdown 
-r now or reboot now.
I am frustrated with having to manually turn on my PC each time I attempt to 
do a reboot....Any solutions out there would be much appreciated. Btw, does 
this cause bad sectors on the HDD.

Thankx.
Mike
