Would timesync cause venti or something else disk I/O related to go
completely fubar?  It looks like my plan 9 box is now hosed again and
will not boot.  My hard disk activity LED was almost solid on during
this interrupt storm that was going on almost all day yesterday.

Not sure if timesync can cause that kind of behavior, and I've no idea
why a fresh install with no post-configuration should behave that way.
