	Is there somwething going on with state-of-the-market machines
that our ACPI doesn't account for?
	The reason I ask: I recently build a new FreeBSD box using the
ASRock AOD790GX.  Like the venerable (2001 vintage) machine it
replaced, "shutdown -p" works fine.  However, with "shutdown -r" the
shutdown part works but not the reboot.  (Otherwise a nice board.)
	I'm willing to believe there's a BIOS setting that would fix
this; I just wish I knew what it was.
