Good day...

I found out today that the Linux parameter of append reboot=bios (which
passes the reboot=bios) is unavailable under FreeBSD.  Is this correct?  The
keyboard fix in the kernel does not fix my problem, and the machine still
does not reboot.

Is there a way to tell the machine to reboot via the bios?

Thanks

Vladislav
