Could lead to trouble.  If you somehow trashed your drive so that it
would boot but then hang, you'd have no recourse but to physically
remove the drive in order to get your system back up again.  I've had
that happen with RAD: when I set its BootPri greater than than of df0:
-- but at least in that case turning off the machine gets rid of the
problem.  Still, the odds of that happening to your hard drive are
probably small (at least I hope so :-).
