I do know that there is no reason why an error of this kind should effectively stop the operation of the entire system, and I also know that there is no reason why an error of this kind should prevent the system from being rebooted.

And I mention it here for two reasons: (1) perhaps someone among the thousands of people using FreeBSD might actually have some ghost of an idea of what these messages actually mean; and (2) it's important for potential users of the OS to see some of the serious drawbacks that they might encounter by adopting it (especially for production use).
