Yes, but only if you set in the kernel. I once forgot that (I think it says "disable watchdog timer during boot") and my4801 kept rebooting. (My services need much more than 30 seconds to boot. And if fsck wants to do its work, this can be quite a long time.) Maybe there is some way to tell it BSD also?
