bad things happen after restart

[rakslice]

In general the system is unstable when booting as the result of a restart of the emulated Mac rather than a fresh launch of B2/SS.

Perhaps this is:

• Emulator state not being reset in a realistic way for whatever system-level stuff (traps, toolbox calls?) the OS is doing to set up for the reboot
• Some hooks into the ROM or OS established at boot time are not establishing correctly in the second session?

While it's possible to work around the lack of working restarts somewhat by just always shutting down instead of restarting when given the choice, many software installers are written to only let you do a restart afterwards, so restarts are not entirely avoidable.

Possible solutions:

• Make the emulator behaviour during a reset enough like a physical machine to avoid these problems
• Detect that a reset has happened and just relaunch the emulator (or otherwise reset the emulator state to that of the initial launch)

And other motivation: Users have been trained in a Pavlovian manner that restarting a Classic Mac should make the system state better, not worse :P
