Three times in the past 4 months, when selecting "SYSTEM SHUTDOWN" from the ua window, the system would "seem" to go thru all the normal procedure in preparation for powering down, then, all of a sudden, either the "ENTER RUN LEVEL (0-6,s,S): " prompt appears, *OR* I find myself (not root and not privileged) sitting at the "#" prompt cd'd to "/" WTF does one DO under such brain damage? I just powered down and said "to hell with it" and, so far, no ill seem to be boding, but WHY did it happen in the first place? The /etc/inittab and other system stuff appears identical before and after such brain damage. Systrem config: 3B1, 67MB HD, 2M RAM on motherboard, 1.5 Meg RAM on one of two of the EIA/RAM combo cards (installed in slots 0 and 1), and the tape controller installed in slot 2 (the rightmost). System software is 3.51 (not 3.51a). installed software includes the Development Set, MS WORD, and other misc items.
