Must have had some power surges in last nights storm because the 
computers were all haywire this morning.,.well the WEIN 98 PC rebooted, 
but it shoudln't as its NOT set to autoreboot on power loss..

The linux server was dead tho - that shouldn't have rebooted EITHER but 
was stuck saying 'floppy drive error (40)' or somesuch..

Hitting a key (F1) to get it to restart worked fine..but a forced reboot 
still shows the same error..anyone got any clues? power surge striped 
the flash BIOS settings maybe?

The linux normally runs headless and its a pain to have plug a monitor 
in to reboot.
