 Broken firmware...  For DECstations it works until we wipe out RAM
reserved by the firmware, right before running `init'.  Which is not
firmware's fault, of course, and which I plan to get fixed eventually to
be able to access and set firmware environment variables from the
userland, to do a proper halt and reboot (with a command), etc.  I've not
decided whether to rip it away completely or to leave it as a
configuration option for these memory starved.  You can have 4MB of RAM on
some DECstations, you know.
