; A system that starts and never reaches a prompt.
;
; Not a broken program so much as a stand in for one: what matters is that it is handed the
; machine and never clears the mark the loader put on the disk, which is what every real
; way of failing before the shell has in common.
;
; Without that mark, pointing /System/Boot/boot.cfg at something like this would be a
; machine that could not be told anything ever again - the shell is the only way to change
; the file, and the file is what stops the shell from starting.
