I've run into one problem the CTB init can cause.  I was booting from
a disk that had the CTB installed.  There was no ethernet driver installed
on this disk, but the previous boot had been off a disk with an ethernet
driver that had been turned on.

Crash.

The work around was to turn off ethernet before booting off my disk,
though it took us a while to figure out what was going on.

Still, I like the CTB.  It's just not completely bug free - what is?
