I think I have a handle on all the issues except how to cleanly handle shutdown where there is no console, and thus no way to send a 'halt' command. The requirement is that the user can merely turn off the power, nothing more required. I can modify the disk setup, kernel/util code as needed, I just need some idea for a workable solution. Has anyone delt with this problem before? -- Steve Passe | powered by smp@csn.net | Symmetric MultiProcessor FreeBSD To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
