This machine is a SCSI fileserver and firewall.

Using two scsi drives - one for system, one for test.
bootup
disconnect the test drive - power and cable
fdisk /dev/<whatever second drive is>
system freezes (ie. will not run any commands)

You can hit enter and get shell prompt.
But, if you try to run ANY commands, or
connect from outside the machine (which would of course
run commands locally) it will freeze!

However, ip masquerading still works!

This probably isn't that big of a concern considering
not too many people will unplug a drive then try
to fdisk it, but thought it was interesting and there
may be deeper issues. I don't know...
