If we had an rpctrace program, that would probably be all people often
needed too.

There are a couple of things you can do. Even without an actual network,
you can do "telnet localhost" to get another shell on a pty, and run boot
from there. Also, a while ago I added the --isig option to boot; with
that, boot leaves the terminal in ISIG mode so you can use ^C or ^Z et al
to suspend boot. (Use ^V ^C to get a ^C through to the subhurd console.)
You should probably bg boot after suspending it so that the subhurd's
attempt to access devices and such that goes through boot won't wedge.
