D'oh.  That was very stupid.  I'm sorry about that.

OK, I changed the inittab to:
::shutdown:/etc/init.d/rcK
::shutdown:/usr/bin/killall klogd
::shutdown:/usr/bin/killall syslogd
::shutdown:/bin/umount -a -r
::shutdown:/sbin/swapoff -a

I get my message from rcK (hooray).  But I don't hear anything from 
anything else, including umount.  I tried it on the command line and it 
just gave me the usage information.  I understand what this is trying to 
do here (in the inittab) - how can I get it to work?

Thanks,
