Odd... Have you checked the syslog (messages) to see if you are not actually experiencing a kernel panic? FreeBSD would autoboot on kernel panic. Also, if this is a public machine, it's possible (altho unlikely) you have some kind of Trojan/Virus and someone is either manually doing it remotely, or it's a malicious "virus" set to do it automatically.
FreeBSD is not meant to reboot all by itself, unless you have a Watchdog timer on it (which I doubt you have!)... Thanks S.
