Actually, rc should build fstab on a multi-user boot, do some more stuff,
then copy rc.distribution over itself.

Hmm. We moved to tty00 and tty01 to move toward a more standard naming
convention. If you still want to use ser0 and ser1, feel free to modify
your local MAKEDEV ;-)

Hmmm... I haven't seen this. What system are you on? I don't know
what the IP PC and SC commands are--I'm assuming that one is the stack
trace. You should be able to get a list of commands by typing 'help.'
The command to get a stack trace is "trace." Keyboard support in the
debugger is, shall we say, buggy...

The current sys.tar should be up to date on that score.
