Stupid man pages

[Robert Landsparger]

At least this man entry was not changed in the "up-grading":

>man page for reboot:
>
>..skipping some...
>
>OPTIONS
>     -d   Dump ..etc...
>
>     -n   Avoid the sync(1).  It can be used if  a  disk  or  the
>          processor is on fire.
>
>...rest of man page....

Excuse me, but can someone tell me why you would want to reboot if the
machine was on fire?  Always trying to learn something new!  I guess if
the drive head didn't sync and didn't pass through the flames and the
"boot" area was not engulfed in fire, the machine might come back up.
I don't know...
