When running RFS on 3B2's and 386's with starlan it is necessary
to use "init 2"  to turn off RFS before going to any other state.
The network listener is killed immediately when you go to
states other than 2 or 3.  If you are in state 3 (normal networking)
and attempt to go directly to any state other than 2, the
effort to gracefully take down the RFS links results in hanging
the system since the listener is already gone.  Is there some
way to avoid this?
