one thing that would be real nice would be to seperate the loading of the
new image from the boot.

So I could:
echo /386/9pctest > /dev/rebootfile
disk/kfscmd sync
disk/kfscmd halt
echo reboot > /dev/reboot

Clean shutdown/restart. Anyway I'll be looking at this quick mod if nobody
beats me to it (or it's already done and once again I have failed to R The
FM).
