>Environment:

FreeBSD 4.3-STABLE i386

>Description:

/sbin/init does not react on Ctrl-Alt-Del in "runcom" state (during running
/etc/rc). If boot process hangs (even some fresh FreeBSD ports caused
hanging due to bugs in startup scripts), there often is no possibility to
interrupt it correctly (without reset button).

>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:

In runcom(), init does not check for transitions requested from signal
handlers before /etc/rc finished. Modify it to check for `death'.

Patch to RELENG_4 (but also applicable cleanly to HEAD):
