can't soft reboot after install

[John G Heim]

Doh! All these years I thought that was "faire boot". Well, actually, I 
thought it was fairboot. I've mentioned that I'm blind before and my 
screen reader says, "fair boot". I'm like, what the heck is a fair boot? 
Is there an unfair boot? It's FAI reboot, you dummy.

It didn't work though. It says "vv507i will now reboot" but it doesn't. 
There are a whole bunch of busy devices. I tried using fuser and killing 
some of the processes that have the devises open but there are just too 
many.  I must hae something wrong because it shouldn't have all those 
processes still running, right?

The install took 840 seconds.
