- In cases where one gets an error-trap screen or even Ctl-Alt-Del would not
- work there might still be a way to shut down the file-system properly
- before using the red-button: Press Ctl-Alt-NumLock-NumLock. You would get
- a prompt to insert dump-disks and the keyboard would be read again. At this
- point press Ctl-Alt-Del and the buffers should be written back to disk and
- on you next boot-up no auto-Chkdsk will be executed, as the file system
- was shut down cleanly. This procedure would not work on the present
- 2.1beta though.
