This is a request for information for the proper shutdown procedure for
Minix-ST 1.1.

Beyond unmounting file systems on floppy and hard disks, this is no problem
when you have root file system on RAM disk but I use Howard Johnson's code
for placing root file system on (hard) disk partition.  The superblocks and 
other file system information do not seem to be getting updated as a result of
a final sync command before I shutdown (the root file sys never fscks clean
on boot).  Has anyone had this experience?
