Greetings, this is now 3 different servers on 2 different trees, all NW65SP8 
running 8.8 SP4 FTF1, that when I applied eDir 8.8 SP5 to them, after the 
first phase, instead of restarting the server, it does a DOWN?  I had 2 
servers power off and 1 went to the C:\NWSERVER prompt.  Good thing I wasn't 
doing this remotely...

Why would the process DOWN the server instead of doing a RESTART or RESET?

Note that after starting up the server again, the installation process 
continued to successful completion.

Thanks
James

I am pretty sure during my one NetWare box's patch it did not do this.
Could this be because of how the BIOS is setup in general, perhaps some
kind of ACPI/powermanagement thing?  Anyway I'm surprised this happened at
all but going through the install scripts briefly (using grep) I cannot
find a 'down' command anywhere.  The doc also states that the installation
will perform a server restart (vs. stop):

Good luck.
