situatutions like this?
This is unusual in my experience, part of the charm of FreeBSD for me is
how rarely I have had to interact with fsck thanks to the whole
background fsck thing. What version of FreeBSD are you using?
Assuming a 5.x or later since you say you've started to use FreeBSD.
I am fairly sure it is v6.2
What is the value of background_fsck in /etc/rc.conf ?
This isn't set. Was is supposed to be? So far, I have only installed
applications we need. And everything seem fine except the reboot
issue. This will be an offsite system so I do not want human
intervention on boot for power outages or hard reboots.
You can also try setting fsck_y_enable="YES" in rc.conf (this will do
fsck -y if the initial preen fails.)
I will use this. Do you mean by try, that this will work? I assume so.
Thanks Vince!
Oh, Is there a way to not receive 2 messages for every reply to this
thread?

Questions on a FreeBSD reboot? Any boxes I have ever built can reboot
by themselves with no human intervention. BUT SEE BELOW:
This sounds like a BIOS settings issue on a box that has powered off.
