That's right, systems will never shut down. 8)
Seriously though, I'm in the process of replacing a number of the
ad-hoc event handler callout lists in the kernel (most notably the
at_shutdown and apm* lists) with a generic implementation.
The upshot of this is that at_shutdown will go away.

Yesterday and today, after a cvsup and kernel build, I get a panic

1. Modify cdrecord so that if a device is not specified it will
do a -scanbus . Present the user with a choice of cd recorders
from which to chose from .
Ideally there should be a generic device query interface to the system so
other similar utilities can do the same thing .

Hi,
I've dug through the archives and found no mention of this subject. Are there any
political/technical reasons why bootparamd was not set up to work with inetd? If the
answer is no, I've included a patch for /usr/src/usr.sbin/bootparamd/bootparamd/main.c
that allows it to work this way.

That reminds me. I thought that SIGBUS meant byte-alignment errors.

We didn't go as far as modifying the structure definition, just the

The problem was that we were seeing bcount go "negative". I believe that
"newfs" of the ccd would panic the kernel, reliably. Even on "smaller"
