Re: Machine does not not do a normal Reboot

2003-03-06 Thread Joseph Maxwell
Hello,
Cute response:
   When I first purchased FreeBSD, it was in the 4.2 Distribution Disk
set , about 6 CDROMs
   When I upgraded it was over the internet
   When the system crashes, where do I have to go to - the original
distr. disks
   They worked flawlessly before, why not now
   After the re-installation, THEN I can upgrade
Thanks

  Now it makes no difference
 
 Any idea of what could be causing this and possible solution(s)

 first, upgrade.
