Hi,

I currently have major trouble rebooting my Z50 
from NetBSD... I'm running a 1.6J snapshot 
from kame.naobsd.org (snapshot-20021028) in a 
diskless setup (only have a 16MB CF card at 
the moment).

Rebooting into NetBSD doesn't work anyway with 
this setup, I assume, as the kernel is on the 
FAT partition of the CF card, to be started from 
WindCE with pbsboot...

After issuing a "halt" or "reboot", the system 
will lock up hard, and can not even be recovered 
with the reset button. Only possibility I 
found up to now is to remove all batteries and 
wait for some time - then it will boot up 
WinCE usually (though not this morning, for 
example)...

I would really prefer to have a way to get the 
system to reliably reboot into WinCE instead of 
this erratic behaviour. Is there any?

Alex.
