True enough.  My idea is for a "server" type machine that may be rebooted
occasionally, or may spontaneously reboot.  If anything is different,
the dmesg output would be an indicator.  I realize that booting a
different kernel would result in problems, but I believe booting multiuser
with that scenario would likely have errors with dev_mkdb and kvm_mkdb
and/or anything with libkvm.  Anyway, I don't know of anyway to figure
this out via a section in /etc/rc.local without libkvm and/or kernel
support.
