(Last message was serious. This one is _humor_. You have been warned.)

If we setup NetBSD to always store disk buffers and drive related structures
in high memory we could change the KICK_TAG_PTR to point to our sync and
umount code. We could then have NetBSD write out remaining buffers (sync) and
unmount the drives _After_ it has rebooted! A kind of NetBSD meets RAD:!
Show me another Unix that can do that! :-) :-) ;-)
