Once in the dim and distant days of 0.95 (or was it 0.96?)
there was a time when the kernel would reboot at boot time
following a soft reset, but not a hard... And I seem to remember
that those who booted via dos also had problems.....
  Those reboots where blamed on a non-zeroed bss. [What IS a bss???]
Are these reports of rebooting just after the video selection a recurrence?
I can't remember when it used to happen.
