hi andy,

did not come much further. <man init> might give some clues and a 
<study> of sysvinit. however: earlier i lost my self somewhat there.
maybe again talk to the sarge-developers?

on another hd in my machine <reboot -f>  did not cause any trouble when 
i tried it out.

i apologize for the late moment of this unsatisfacory answer.
had two very busy days.


kind regards,

groet'n
