The question then is - will bdflush fail gracefully, or spin retrying
the syscall?

Will add to my todo list...
BTW, you can boot this ramdisk on ARAnyM, too.

True. I can't find that ramdisk image anywhere - if you can point me to
some archive, I'll give that a try.

Thanks - removing the if (func==1) do_exit(0); part does give similar 
behaviour as before - kernel warns five times, then shuts up (without 
change, warns twice only, and /sbin/update no longer runs).

Removing the syscall from the m68k syscall table altogether still gives 
a working ramdisk. /sbin/update is still running, so evidently doesn't 
care about the invalid syscall result ...

Cheers,
