When I use the 'shutdown' that came with SLS 1.0? (Kernel pl12),
everything gets properly unmounted, even without booutils. Did you
realize, that the bootutils umount, can only remount your root fs as
readonly?
Then to get everything starting, you have to e2fsck -r every Partition
and config lilo, to mount the root fs readonly.
