There is no difference between shutting down and restarting until the 
end from the kernel perspective; it does the very same stuff until it 
gets there. I will see if I can reproduce this odd behaviour under Qemu 
- maybe it's a VMware problem.
Also, does "sync" executed from a Terminal before rebooting change 
anything?

That's the same as in BeOS; if you create directories in the root, they 
will only be temporary.
Maybe you want to use the "mountvolume" command instead, which does the 
job automatically.

Tested with what revision? I'm currently working on the net_server/TCP/
etc. :-)
The net_server is now started automatically; the Netscript is no longer 
executed.
