Add -N flag to reboot(8) which bypasses the userland sync(2) during
reboot(8) while still allow the kernel sync during the reboot(2) syscall
to occur.
An example use of this is when rebooting with disconnected iSCSI sessions
which would otherwise cause the reboot to hang on BIOs that will never
complete.

the root filesystem without full reboot, using "reboot -r". This can
be used to to eg. boot from a temporary md_image preloaded by loader(8),
setup an iSCSI session, and continue booting from rootfs mounted over
iSCSI.

go asking what debug flags to set for GEOM to make it work. Advice

Nextboot(8) can now set any combination of kernel name (-k), kernel
options (-o), and environment strings (-e). As a result of this change
-k also becomes optional.

logwtmp() gets called with the raw strings that are written to disk. For
regular user entries, this isn't too bad, but when booting/shutting
down, the contents get rather cryptic.
Just call the standardized pututxline().

the location of make.conf is not constant and can be
modified via __MAKE_CONF. This change also improves
