/boot/loader
>Description:
In /usr/src/sys/boot/i386/btx/btx/btx.s revision 1.33 a reboot from
loader bug was fixed last november (see also PR i386/62003)
- ljmp $0xffff,$0x0 # reboot the machine
+ ljmp $0xf000,$0xfff0 # reboot the machine
In /usr/src/sys/boot/pc98/btx/btx/btx.s this same problem still exists
near line 326, although it is ifdef-ed out by a .`ifdef' PC98
It would make sense to synchronise this code with the i386 case.
>How-To-Repeat:
This problem was discovered on Soekris net4501/4801 with comBIOS 1.22
boxes. Break into loader, "ok reboot" then hangs. See also PR i386/62003.
>Fix:
merge change in revision 1.33 from /usr/src/sys/boot/i386/btx/btx/btx.s
