Here's what I did:  Append the following to /etc/rc0:

	set `who -r`
	[ $7 = 5 ] && /etc/uadmin 2 0
	[ $7 = 6 ] && /etc/uadmin 2 1

Now, "shutdown -i5" will halt the machine and "shutdown -i6" will reboot it;
in both cases all filesystems (including root) are unmounted and marked as
"clean" so that they won't be automatically fsck'd when the system comes up.

This was actually on an Amiga, not a 386, but I suspect that it would work
if the command codes to uadmin are the same.
