this is pretty obscure but it might be useful to know.
there is an undocumented system call resuba() that does
a unibus reset. the code is in sys/vmsys.c. the argument
it is passing to ubareset() is the number of the unibus
(adapter) to reset. it needs to do a check to see if that
number is less than ``numuba'' before calling ubareset.
it is also useful to have a user level program that uses
the resuba system call, several times i have unwedged
devices with it thus avoiding rebooting the system.
