i'm having problems with reboot not syncing the disk, and am attempting
to track it down.

the reboot program is definately calling the reboot syscall without
RB_NOSYNC set; the reboot syscall is passing that on to boot() without
modifications, so i'm attempting to debug boot().

without much success. if i add the following code to boot() [machdep.c],
directly after the 'boothowto' assignment, not only does it not 
print anything, but it hangs rather than enter the debugger.

        /* DEBUG */
        if(howto & RB_NOSYNC)
                printf("RB_NOSYNC!\n");
        if(waittime >= 0)
                printf("waittime = %d!\n", waittime);
        Debugger();

is there some magic about debugging boot() that i'm missing?
