Narrative:
Landed on runway 15 at bos. Tower requested that we make right turnoff on taxiway F which is a reverse high speed taxiway. 90 degrees into the turn, nosewheel steering failed without any warnings. We were unable to complete the turn onto taxiway F. We had to stop the aircraft, unable to clear the runway. 2 aircraft were forced to go around. After cycling nosewheel steering switch on and off several times, system became functional again. We were able to complete the turn and taxi to the ramp unassisted and without further incident.
