[9fans] 9 boots 9

[ron minnich]

I mentioned that it would be nice to have /dev/rebootfile to load a file,
then do kfscmd halt, so we would have a really clean shutdown/reboot
scenario.

It was pointed out that adding another file to #s is hardly a good idea.

So, could we add another command to /dev/reboot?

Currently we have two commands for /dev/reboot
reboot
and
reboot filename

could we add

rebootfile filename

e.g. you could then do this:

echo 'rebootfile /386/test' > /dev/reboot
disk/kfscmd sync
disk/kfscmd halt
echo reboot > /dev/reboot

Is this acceptable?

i'd go for it if you changed the syntax to

	echo kernel /386/9pctest >/dev/reboot
	echo reboot >/dev/reboot

there's no need for all the ctl messages
to start with "reboot" -- we're talking to
/dev/reboot after all.

I'm happy with it given rsc's observation of the redundant reboot.

well, it's nice to see that the `pursuit of happiness' can be successful
at least from time to time.

Indeed. It's not often that a band from Edmonton, Alberta, measures any 
great level of success. Not that they stormed the world, but they got 
wider airplay than, say, SNFU. I'm not sure what Mo's doing these days, 
though.

If you're interested in their earlier material, before reincarnating as 
TPOH they were known as Facecrime. I still have the original LP kicking 
around here someplace ...

          crud that's been floating around the list this week?)
