  I can't answer the question, but I have another to ask - is there a
way that I can make sure that all the dirty buffers have been written out
before rebooting? A Sync() call? A reboot (8) program?
  When I change my MountList and startup-sequence to reference new
devices and get something wrong, I often wind up editing the mountllist,
and then rebooting as soon as the dme window disappears. I _know_ that
waiting a couple of seconds will solve this problem, but getting
into the habit of typing 'reboot' instead of the salute is not hard, I
would feel safer that way.
