-
- This message is displayed at the end of the /etc/rc script. The /etc/rc.tcpip
- script is invoked after this.
- Were you installing 3.1 or 3.2? Was this a "clean" install, or a
- "preservation" install?

-
- If the message "Multi-User initialization complete" has been displayed,
- then the LED's have already been cleared, and the filesystems have been
- successfully mounted.

-
- invoking getrootfs with multiple hdisk args does not change the
- behaviour of the script, except for an error message during execution.
-

-
- replaced by getrootfs because continue is a shell builtin
-

-
- If you invoke "getrootfs hdisk0 sh", then the shell is invoked before the
- filesystems are mounted, and vi is not available, and the /etc/filesystems
- is in the ramfs, which is not preserved between boots.
