that is a ghastly idea. boot twice? look, one of
the _features_ of a plan 9 terminal is that it
boots in about a second, well i'm talking about
a gnot.
christ, a vax 11/780 booted faster than most modern
systems and it was i/o bound on the la120.
given inferno has loadable modules, it wouldn't be
too hard to add loadable device drivers to it. the
who point of a loadable device driver is _not_ to
reboot.
IDE? very general.
