If you're running the U10 headless, dropping DTR on the connection
will, by default, drop the U10 into OpenBoot, stopping execution of the
OS (this is true on most if all Sun boxes, not just the U10). There's
a simple setting change to make on the U10 if you don't want this to
happen. I no longer recall what it is offhand, but a quick Google
should fix you up.
Even if you still don't want to reboot the fbsd box, I'd think you'd
want to fix this for reliability reasons.
