For those of you new to Plan 9, when
turning off the system, you must halt the
disks manually (i.e. typing ctl-alt-del does
not do this) by typing
disk/kfscmd halt
at a prompt and waiting for
``kfs: file system halted''
to appear on the screen.
Not doing this means the disk might not
be in a consistent state or modified data
might not have been written out yet;
not halting the disk forces the long wait
at the ``kfs...'' when you boot the next
time while kfs checks the disk.
This was forgotten in the installation
documentation but is there now.
