Occasionally fails to interrupt when rebooting

Our 750 (running 4.2) occasionally does not reboot properly on an auto 
reboot.  Sometimes  the communication multiplexers, dm0 and dm1, do not 
interrupt. When they do not interrupt, the system will appear to be in 
multi-user mode at the console, however, no getty's are spawned and so 
no one, except the person at the console, can get up on the system. 
If the system is reboot again, the mutiplexers interrupt
and everything is fine and dandy.  However, someone has to be on site
to reboot.  

Below is a copy of /usr/adm/messages showing
what is logged on the console when the mux's do not interrupt and
when the system is reboot and the mux's interrupt.  If you
need/want any more information about this situation, feel free to ask
me.  Do you know what is the problem and/or how to rectify it?
