System: NetBSD kolvir 1.0A NetBSD 1.0A (KOLVIR) #624: Wed Aug 9 07:38:58 EDT 1995 jtk@pattern:/u1/NetBSD-current/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/KOLVIR i386


>Description:
<sys/reboot.h> has a VAX specific comment in it.

>How-To-Repeat:
read the file:
/*
 * Arguments to reboot system call.  These are passed to boot program
 * in r11, and on to init.
 */

r11 is indeed where things are passed in 4.3BSD on a VAX, but I don't

in many of the NetBSD ports.

>Fix:
excise the specific register reference.
