	This morning I wanted to edit an ISO to instruct the kernel to redirect its
	output to serial.
	
	i.e 
	
	# sudo vnconfig -v -c /dev/vn0 5.3-BETA1-i386-miniinst.iso
	# sudo mount -t cd9660 -o rw /dev/vn0 /mnt
	# sudo tcsh
	# echo "/boot/loader -h" > boot.config
	boot.config: Read-only file system.
	
	Forget the afforementioned error. 
	
	The problem that I have is now when I issue a df(1) my shell hangs: 
	
	e.g.
	
	# df -h
	^C^C^D
	^C^C^D
	
	# ps -aux | grep df 
	username 3333  0.0  0.0   212   96  p2  D+    9:04AM   0:00.00 df -h
	username 3332  0.0  0.0   212   96  p1  D+    9:04AM   0:00.00 df -h
	
	# kill -9 3333 3332
	
	# ps -aux | grep df
	username 3333  0.0  0.0   212   96  p2  D+    9:04AM   0:00.00 df -h
	username 3332  0.0  0.0   212   96  p1  D+    9:04AM   0:00.00 df -h
	
	No change.
	
	I'm not sure what has hung here, nor am I sure how to 'un-hang' my shell.
	
	Any thoughts anyone ?

To follow up to my own question, an NFS server not responding .... DOH !
