1) what exactly does the word mean?
2) how it depends on rebooting it from a different media?
3) among the messages displayed last time there was one that
it cannot open /adm/timezone/local. After the reboot, /adm/timezone/local
is where it should and unchanged (that is, my timezone as I put
it there).

Can it be something with controller state not properly initialized?
How exactly should I report my hardware configuration?
Why it only happens after a power failure and not during normal work,
if it is a hardware problem? 

I am not a hardware expert. I am just trying to port some programs
to Plan9, and use it as a platform -- it was said to be 'finished',
that is, usable for work, and I hope it is mature indeed.
