>Description:
If TME boots a disk with NetBSD, then NetBSD is shutdown, returning TME to the 
prom monitor, the user can then enter "b" and reboot at the prom monitor.  But 
if TME boots a disk with SunOS, then SunOS is shutdown, returning TME to the 
prom monitor, nothing can be typed at the chevron prompt, and TME must be 
killed and restarted in order to reboot.

This is not critical, but was inconvenient during ethernet testing, as I could 
successfully create an emulated sun3 with two drives: one with NetBSD, and one 
with SunOS.  I could boot into NetBSD, shutdown, then boot into SunOS without 
repowering the emulated sun3 (so that the emulated i825x6 device maintained its 
state).  But I could not boot sunos then netbsd without repowering the emulated 
sun3.
