You mean that when booting the disks, the machine just reboots ?

This sounds like my experiences in making a bootable CD-ROM with the boot image
being boot-big.fs. The kernel boots (rotating \-/|), but either it does not start, or it dies
immediately after starting -- I never see any printouts from the kernel itself.

This is with NetBSD/i386 1.5ALPHA as supped about a week ago.

I tried it several times with new sup updates and on several machines -- same result.
