->Anyone know how to get the SCO UNIX System V/386 r3.2 kernel
->to do sync when it panics so fsck is happy when you start up again?

->I'm told that BSD can do this, and I have a use for this while
->running this OS on a 'beta' CPU which will cause a panic under
->certain circumstances.
Wait a second... This doesn't make sense. Panics are frequently situations
where the kernel code is not confident to continue processing. Doing a
sync in this situation is like painting over rust. For any degree of system
stability you need to fsck and "take your medecine"...
