Alas no BMC there is iLo but the iLo doesn't read lots of detail from 
the os state it just says 'server reset' in iLo diags.

The context of the reboot(s) is/are here:
https://lists.freebsd.org/archives/freebsd-ports/2025-October/008592.html

The only other contexts i've seen hard reboots like this, like almost
as if the wall socket was unplugged, have been with MCE errors but even they get
logged to /var/log/messages.
